right guys, my computer is loud as hell and i wanna quiet it down but im broke as hell.
Peltier coolers.
yeah I know, sub ambient cooling means ill have condensation problems but im pretty sure I can eliminate that with enough care and time.
but what im thinking and id like some confirmations on what i think i know and some other things too.
what I know so far is that peltier coolers have a hot side and a cold side. the hot side can get hotter than what you would like a cpu to be at as the cold side is cooling the cpu
so.
at the moment i have 4 noisy old fans in my computer and what i want to do is use a peltier cooler to keep the cpu cool and use my air cooler passively to keep the peltier cooler cool.
i imagine that the hot side will get hotter than you would expect a cpu to get but that shouldnt matter as the cold side will stay cold as long as i keep the hot side's temperatures under control
like this i can get rid of 2 or 3 fans from my system and bring down noise a lot
or should i just not go down this rabbit hole until i have a system that i dont mind killing?
