ok heres the deal, im thinking about cooling my new pc with a tec and some active water, and ive seen quite afew 200-300 watt tecs. now i dont want my proc to run super cold id be happy with room temp trufully. but i want to be able to get those temps whith large wattage outputs. SO my questions are as follows. if i have a tec. and i apply a large amout of wattage to it, the cold side will warm up and so will the hot side, but if for example im only using 120 watts out of a 320 wat pelt. and am not wanting to run in cold cold temps... can i reduce the the amount of wattage the tec uses (via droping the voltage) and get a same hot side temp with a warmer cold side temp? maybe its jsut late and maybe im jsut tired. but thats kinda what i want to do. also if the tec is only puling 120 watts of heat for a 320 watt tec, will it be using less amprage? like i said a real newb you got on your hands. if anyone has anyreasons why this wont work or can tell me what will happen it would be very helpfull! thank you for anyone who can help
