I'm speaking not from experience but from collective knowledge, I've seen this done before.
You need to do specific calculations for the peltier to work, it's a really crappy way of cooling processors since it's very ineffective. The hot side will get more hot than the cold side will get cold so to speak.
Also, trying to cool air or something like that is non-sense, just saying.
The ONLY viable way to use a peltier is direct to the cpu's ihs, but for that to work you need a peltier rated at 2x the cpu's tdp or more, AND water cooling to cool the hot side.
