Summary

Description
English: Schematic of how a Peltier element is generally used for cooling PC components (such as CPU's, ...). The Peltier element is placed directly on top of the hardware to be cooled, and the coolant is used to conduct the heat away from the hot side of the Peltier element).[1]

The main advantage of the shown setup is that it allows to cool the computer component better (to much lower temperatures than what would be possible using a regular liquid cooling setup).

The disadvantage however is that the Peltier element -trough its cooling action- can cause the surrounding air to condense, and this condensation (water) can cause problems on the printed circuit board.[2]

Another disadvantage is that since the radiator still needs to be cooled, the setup is still not very quiet, despite allready using a Peltier element to help with the cooling.
