Need help choosing power supply

[Lonestar11]

So I'm looking at building a DIY water cooling device for my water reservoir with...

-12V 6A 60W TEC plates
-12V .5A 6W 4" brushless fan
-4" aluminum heat sink
-40mm x 40mm water cooling block

My question, as stupid as it probably is, is what kind of power supply do I need to run this?
I found a 12V 6A 72W power supply cord on amazon, would that work or would I have to upgrade to the 12V 8A 96W since my total amps is 6.5? That's my understanding from what I've read so far

You're correct, you need a minimum output of 6.5A

not highjackin, just need help also with this. Getting 150 pcs 1W 3000k Diodes with PCBs. 350ma each, 3.2-3.6V.. 150 "Watts"

Using this for sidelighting, or something, lol. They were cheap and gives me something to construct on downtime.

Now, if these are 350ma, i need a power supply of 53amps? 350x150= 52,500 ma or 53 amps?

im almost sure im messin it up, lol.. a 12V supply of 12.5amps and 150 watts

a 50A driver is 600watts, soooooo, im lost.

my current set-up, 2 hacked Mars 300s, ( replaced 40 5w diodes with 40 3W diodes, 4000k in one with 10 fullspectrume and 3 lonely reds diodes of OG left and OG white diodes)) and replaced 10 Blue diodes in the other light, with 3w Fullspectrum Diodes ) for instance, pulls 238watts @1.99 amps.. total combined. ( watts meter used ) want to add. The 4000k Mars Modded light, is 30 inches away, and I think is burning the leaves. The other, seems great. Experimental to find least watts, more lumans. The 4000k Mars uses 117 watts, and is bright as heck. Going to do the same to the other after I see how the reaction is.

So, if I look into a 3amp driver, it is only rated at 36watts.

Probably so simple and overlooking something, but Im confused a bit.

i have 150 1W diodes, 3000k. Im using lenses. now, I need a driver. Lookin on the Zon i see a 180watt, 15A, for $16. Box style, I know I need about half of the watts of the diodes, or 75watts for the 150 1W diodes?

lol. SMH, i know man,

You want to wire your LEDs in series. This means that the current runs through each LED in turn so you only need a 350mA driver. The voltages add up, so you'll need a driver that can provide an absolute minimum of 150 x 3.2V = 480V. I'd recommend going higher to at least 500V. I suspect it will be hard to find a driver with those specs. You can get round this by using multiple drivers. Mean Well make a driver that puts out a maximum of 430V at 350mA (model HLG-120H-C350B), you could run 110 of your LEDs comfortably on one driver. If you ran two arrays of 75 LEDs each you could use 2 x Mean Well HLG-80H-C350B drivers.
