Not using some type of thermal protection is a dangerous design, and that applies to more than just Peltiers. If you run a compressor without a thermal circuit breaker and it jams for long enough, expect highly catastrophic results. (And you can guess what happens when it eventually gets hot enough to melt the solder and send bullets of molten solder in an unpredictable direction, not to mention the phosgene gas that would be produced.)Well my friend for one. But I have seen quite a few posts back in the day about overheating pelts in thermal runaway taking out the proc in a rather pyro-violent way. Either way the way pelts behave in thermal runaway if overheated (for whatever reason) is not uncommon knowledge. I personaly never melted any chips but then again I kept my pelts of of them. I have done a few "fun" experiments in the garage though, and decided I will never put one in my computer. A pelt falier by FAR holds more destruction then any other cooling method.
