In hot deals, someone posted the following peltiers for $10 shipped (for two). How easily can I use one of these to replace my heatsink + fan on my video card with a heatsink-only + peltier so I can eliminate the fan noise? I'd assume that I could undervolt these a bit so that the cold side is at ambient (internal case) temperature and so wouldn't have condensation problems. I'd guess that I could actually go below the internal case temp w/o condensation as long as the temp on the cold side remains above dewpoint temp, which right now where I live is 66F.


BG Micro peltiers

These peltiers come in pairs. They are DT6-6. They operate on 6Vdc@5.6A and are tied in series, so you can either use them on 12V@5.6A or cut them apart and use them independently. Removed from equipment. You get the pair for one price. ACS1387.....

I don't know much about peltier cooling but i do know it's some serious shlt. and I don't think you can passive cool the hot side of one of those plates.
