Anyone out there using TEC modules (Thermo-electric cooling
AKA Peltier
device) ? I am really looking into it for a dual P3 system.
About the only people using peltiers are serious overclockers. If you put
them inside a server (especially a small one like 1U or 2U), they'll have to
be powered from the internal power supply on the 12v rail. Peltiers suck a
bit of power, and with a ~200-250W PSU in a 1U/2U server, your peltiers will
take a fair percentage of that available power.
Keep in mind that CPUs die very quickly if the fan on the hot side of the
peltier fails. This could even be a potential fire hazard
I'd definitely stay away from peltiers in a server application.
