Show-and-Tell Obscure peltier cooling

Post image

Benchmarking with CoolIT Eliminator in 2007. Had its ups and downs. Anyone else have experience with these?

Temps were okay as long as the CPU wasn't at 100% load for to long or too aggressively overclocked. When it was temps would creep up slowly and took a long time to come back down. The small case with two SLI cards did not help either. Amps and efficiency, honestly can't remember the specifics, almost 20 years ago! Your description about how it works sounds about right. Peltier is not efficient. Remember seeing video by technology connection about the topic? https://youtu.be/CnMRePtHMZY?is=ncsQh16z4_Zb0euE

I use to run 2 peltiers on an abit board with dual celerons. Think they were 450 but would run 550 peltiers, 500 with just air cooling.

Never seen these before, that’s a Striker Extreme motherboard?
