Title: Wouldn't this make the best GPU cooler? Post by: FEdison on March 09, 2014, 02:25:15 AM Apparently it's called the Peltier effect.

Title: Re: Wouldn't this make the best GPU cooler? Post by: spiderdk on March 09, 2014, 04:19:01 AM I bought a peltier like those (the plain blank square of 60x60), placed the cooler side in the processor and the hot surface on the cpu cooler. I got bad result. Would need a secondary cooler to cool the metal (cooper) and this cooper to reach the cpu surface somehow. Just google it, people aready use it this simple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling Basically the more heat you want to move the less efficient they become and traditional methods are better. |
