Peltier junctions are heat pumps... So although 1 side might cool by 45 degrees, it will require the other side heat up by 45 degrees plus the heat generated by the electricity flowing through it.
I guess my question would be: How is this going to help anything? I will still need a heatsink and fan to cool my processor, only it will now cool the cooler embedded in my processor.
As for their first intended use, LED's: I will stick to my normal LEDs, instead of their new heatsink required version. Seems more like a step backwards unless the heatsink one can provide something more (brighter, longer lasting, etc...)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
