So, Scryptr made a joke about using a peltier/TEC, and I thought, why not give it a shot?
I've got my hands on a couple of 40x40mm copper plates, 3mm thick to act as heatsinks for both sides. Got a 12704 60w TEC too, plus a solid heatpipe cooler from AMD.
The TEC's gonna be powered by a 5A 12v charger, and I'm wiring a 5v 4A into the 2PAC to make sure it has enough juice for some serious overclocking.
I'm sealing everything up with silicone sealant to prevent any condensation issues.
The poor 2PAC is set to arrive this week. I'll keep you posted with more pics and updates.
And just to be clear, I won't come whining to you if I end up frying it, sidehack lol.
extreme cooling and overclocking with 2PAC

The unlucky 2pac
Sounds like a great project and will be keeping an eye on this thread. Gotta love a bit of extreme overclocking

here is the preliminary test of the TEC mounted on the bottom of the cooler.
needs to be mounted a little stronger, but a nice check to make sure everything fits before i start maing a mount for it.
Looks good. Definitely a good idea coating it in sealant, quite a bit of condensation on that already lol
nevermind, forget it. getting all my updates deleted now, so ill just keep it as a personal project.
Oh that's a shame that you didn't update this. How did it went?
