    You didn't miss a thing that 90% of the makers do: Make something not only functional but also neat. Great job.
  • I clicked the like button the moment you applied the thermal paste correctly.

    Nice work. Well executed. Even criticisms from super-nerds are helpful in machines like this because one can't think of everything.
  • @nathanameru7654
    finally, someone else using these beasts. I thought I was the only one
  • Pretty cool science fair project, will have to save this for when i have kids, definitely a fun way to use some old CPU coolers
  • @bingbongap5558
    Definitely building this for my PC. It's always running hot. Like 75C +
  • @Dallen9
    I want to see this done for a pc watercooling set up.
  • @anthonybush3134
    Wow I just now found out about these chips! It’s so weird how something like that can get cold just from electricity. I want to build one of these
  • @flippy9133
    would be interesting to put one of these into pc cooling loop to see if it helps cool water better
  • @Echolot789
    Do you have any info about the actual cooling power you get out of this thing? For example how long does it take to cool 1L of water by 1°C? Also, what power are the Peltier elements rated? Thanks!

    I considered doing something similar to this in a PC watercooling setup. getting a high end water block with fine copper channels and attaching it to the peltier to pre-chill the water before it enter's the CPU's waterblock. Allowing the water going to the cpu to be lower than ambient temps.

    I need one help from you How long time put it on peltier device Actually I was thinking making one small AC with 10 peltier device and water radiator behind the fan And I am using AC fan smaller size And I was decide to make cabinet minimum 2 by 2 feet And all the heat sink I will keep front side of the fan How is my concept please help me by comments
  • How long it will take to reduce the temperature from 31 deg Celsius to 24 deg Celsius . Can i use it as aquarium chiller ?
  • @ihater3tards
    just a fyi.. That aluminum tape was a bad idea since you are transferring heat to the cold side that way thus killing efficiency a bit...and the proper placement of components will also help quite a bit as mentioned below (hot sides upwards etc. ). Im waiting on some parts from china to do something similar BUT that cold water you have as a result will have a submerged 12v pump that will feed a 240mm radiator with 4 fans(push pull) blowing cold air into a small bedroom. Like a small a/c unit...

    Thankyou very much for the video i have been thinking about building a cooler for my still so I don't need to use bags of ice to cool the water for the condenser I run the still for 8+ hours at a time I'd definitely need to make a fairly large unit I think something capable of keeping 60l of water below 5° do you think they could handle it or be capable of keeping the water at that temp for extended periods?

    Hey dude, I am just looking into this whole "peltier cooling" thing for my own PC. I personally love the aesthetic of an aircooler and so I am going modify it by simply putting the peltier plate between the heatsink and the CPU... with thermal paste on each of those surfaces. I wanted to know what power rating (if that's the right term) your peltier plate was in this video. I have seen 50w, 100w, 150w... etc and I wasn't really sure which would do the job for a CPU. Do you have any ideas?
