The Peltier Cooling Unit was kindly provided by Banggood at no cost to me - there were no cash incentives for me to make this video. The small logo "Paid Product Placement" during the first 10 seconds of the video (bottom left of screen) is a mechanism provided by YouTube. However it's not possible to differentiate between goods supplied free of charge and payments made by a supplier.

    Thanks for the video, great intro demo to heat sync, etc. Tell the puppet i said these videos are great and it keeps your hand warm, soooo stop complaining 😉

    will peltiers work with 1V at 12V if i pulse it periodically.
    will it work but at a slower cooling rate?
    i need to use it but not use a load of power supplied continuously.

    Ok now put a saws-all in your ear. C'mon man.

    how long can you keep it on at freezing temp on the cold block?

    There are a couple of problems for me:
    1/. Obtaining or making a thermostat / humidostat controller and a power supply that can provide 12 V 6 amps. The overall system would be quite large.
    2/. Bangood do not ship to Taiwan ! (surprise surprise. !).

    In your educated opinion – Can you use the cooling generated through the Peltier through the element pushed out via the small fan to cool the bottom side of a laptop where the laptop fans would then pull that could air into its cooling system.

    The reason I'm asking is because I want to know if the fan would push and damaging moisture for such a cooling system

    Sir we have the same heatsinks and 12706 PILTIER and im using power supply which is 15A but cant turn into ice just like yours

    oh I got it Julian here. you would have to add pipes to allow water coming off the cpu into a bucket then so water melts would not hurt cpu or the motherboard but also maybe put my motherboard and cpu upside down also here so water would run off to the ground here ok great Idea I have now here !!! you should make more videos on this idea ok please it will work because of gravity

    Hello Julian. how to use the peltier on my ryzen 9 3900X cpu here then without destroying cpu ? what kind of setup to make my idea here then ?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GreatEagle USA says:

    One great Idea I came up now is take a 6 pipe heat fan sink and take off the all the aluminum fins in the middle totally off of it and put a Peltier in the middle of it then put system to the cpu should majorly help for one temperature wise and second to protect cpu too in my head here ok. Try this it should work if you know how to use the TEC1-12715 Peltiers there. You can also put your own PWM on the Peltier to control the actual temps there too

    Luckily my tape water is very close to my air cooler. And I was thinking to attach a hot side of peltier to aluminum tank and connect it with tape without motor assuming hot water will automatically move toward my house water tank. I can use motor but want to understand if I can use same tape point for inlet and outlet of motor will it be useful?for 3 peltier of 6Amp which power supply unit i can use?can't use battery so thinking of some kind of smps. Kindly guide me.

    Regards,
