After taking my sweet Athlon 1.33ghz system from my house temperature at 85 degrees or so, and bringing it to my work in a much more computer friendly temperature climate (70 degrees) I noticed that my CPU was now at 27 degrees Celcius instead of its normal 33 degrees at home.... This gave me a new idea for computer cooling...
I am wondering if any of you think this will work as i am not familiar with peltiers or anything. but here is my idea..
The temperature of your CPU and components is greatly swayed by the actual temperature of the air moving around in your case.. so therefore if we came upon some means to cool the air inside the case, our big HSF's would work even better at cooling our CPUs. I first thought about using refrigeration, but that would be too bulky and would cause condensation on the parts, but what about using a peltier to cool the actual case?
you could cut a hole in the top of the case and have the hot end of the peltier exposed heating only outside air that does not matter to the inside of the case, and use the cool end to cool either the metal directly on your case, or some sort of metal design with fins that a fan could be pointed at to move cool air around to other parts of the case.. by reducing the air inside the case, u could probably reduce temps greatly and help your HSF handle higher temperatures...
Anybody else think that this might work?
any ideas or comments would be appreciated.
