Peltier cooling

Could it be possible to affix a 12v Peltier chip to a cpu, and use something like a Hyper t2 to cool it (it's the only heatsink I have laying around) what would be the temps I would get? (Currently I5-3570k@4.3ghz 65C on water) what would I need to do to my mobo to prevent condensation and all that bad stuff?

I see. Worse temps I'm assuming 

The problem with Peltier cooling is that you need a beefy cooling system on the hot side. Otherwise you burn the unit out.

 

You may as well just use the beefy cooling system on the CPU directly.

 

EDIT: Quick look at the Hyper T2 is it's a 130W TDP cooler. Yeah, that's not going to remotely cut it.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

That makes sense. On the ebay listing it had a small heatsink, and I knew it wouldn't work

You need a dedicated loop to deal with the hot side of peltier cooling pads.

 

Blocks like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40-80-12mm-Aluminium-Water-Cooling-Waterblock-Heatsink-Block-Liquid-Cooler-For-C/282699428652?epid=23014687178&hash=item41d232f32c:g:vyMAAOSwj99Z53vI

You could but it won't be as effective (i think) + have fun mounting that. Might run the risk of breaking the peltier module.

 

Buy a few of those blocks, have one loop to cool the peltier and the other loop to carry the chilly coolant to the CPU. Those are aluminium so watch out.

Check out overclock.net forums, there is a big section on peltier cooling. Its alot more work than u would think to get good temps.

TEC cooling is highly inefficent, but capable of subzero temperatures with enough work and money thrown in.

There's a reason literally no one does peltier cooling.

 

If you want to go extreme you either do direct refrigeration on the CPU or a water chiller.

Takes me back 10 years to [H]ardforum when it was done.

I do get an erection imagining using 3000W of power to cool a 500W CPU , but it's still just a terrible idea when there's better ways to go about it :P
