Description: Heres a peltier cooler, which acts in a similar way to a heat pump, except with no moving parts. Just put 12v at 2A across the element, one side will cool down so much that water starts condensing on it, and the heatsink starts warming up. Great if you want to avoid having too many fans on your system, but the 2A current draw might be a bit too much for standard "brick" Amiga PSU's.

| klx300r Posts:3246 | June 18, 2009, 02:07:22 AM awesome idea ! I guess this is more for the ppc cards as they could use the extra cooling...a passive heatsink on my 030@50 with a fan case has served me well for years |
| Karlos Posts:16867 | May 31, 2009, 08:09:52 PM 24W to maintain the temperature differential sounds quite a lot, really. You could probably do better with a fan, at least as far as power consumption goes. |

These things drag quite a few amps to operate. They can also generate power from a temperature difference :crazy: Hodgkinson. |

| February 17, 2007, 12:05:23 PM i dont trust this type of cooling without some kind of sensor,if something gos wrong temp will rise very quickly.. |
| derringer3 Posts:368 | February 17, 2007, 07:42:34 AM Years ago i was so exited about this technology, but the truth is there is no perfect cooler with this technology. The death of this cooler was the price anyway. you can do the same effect which much cheeper cooler. (and noise ratio is the same) |
