TEC cooling for video card

[thilanliyan]

I'd like to cool my vid card using a TEC cooler but I've only seen it done on a CPU before. Swiftech makes a kit for VGA cooling.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of cooling?

THanks for any help.

My only tips are:

Make sure you dont wire it backwards, that will insta kill the GPU upon powering up.

Make sure you have excellent cooling on the TEC.

Make sure you know how to power it properly.

Too much effort IMO, Depending on which TEC you go with you might need to get an extra power source aka another PSU if you current one cannot handle the load. These things can run 220W+ which will cane the PSU, and you need a good water loop in which to exchange the large amount of heat it will produce.

Also it will produce condensation etc without good airflow. I'd rather just go with a good water setup.
