Alas the weather is warming up and I will no longer be able to benefit from mother natures cold touch. So I need alternative cooling measures.
I purchased a PAL 6030. It works nicely and has dropped my CPU <under load > from 42c to 30c a good 12 degrees which is much more than I was expecting. However, this just isn’t cold enough. I’m not ready to go with water cooling yet but I am interested in trying out a peltier with this heat sink/fan combo.
What are your recommendations for building this set up? I have never worked with peltiers before so newbie instructions would be appreciated.
Should I use zero, one or two cold plates?
How do you wire up the peltiers? Can I wire them to an extra female plug and plug them into one of my male leads from the power supply?
