Default My First Tec Project Pls Help!
I WAS IN A COMPUTER STORE WHEN I HAPPEN TO GLANCE ON AN USB MINI FRIDGE.

AND RIGHT THERE IT GET ME THINKING WITH A GRIN IF THESE WOULD BE A NICE START TO MAKE A CUSTOM TEC

HERE IS THE PIC OF THE MINI FRIDGE AND MY INITIAL PLAN IF TO COOL IT THE STOCK CPU FAN HEATSINK COOLER THAT COME ALONG WITH THE INTEL QUAD CORE.

NOW I AM NEW WITH TEC PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

MY INITIAL FEAR IS ABOUT THE CONDENSATION THING OF TEC.I TRIED IT FOR ABOUT 30MINS BUT NOT MOUNTED TO THE CPU, AND THERE ARE INITIAL PRESENCE OF CONDENSATION, IS IT OK TO DIRECTLY MOUNT IT LIKE I DID IN THE PICS?

DO THE CONDENSE WOULD AFFECT INSIDE THE CPU AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CPU ITSELF?

condensation on your CPU/mainboard is definitely not a good thing. good idea, but you need to figure out some way to manage it. maybe a rubber gasket and lots of thermal grease. just a thought.

EDIT: I would check out install reviews for commercial TEC units and maybe a vapochill. might give you some ideas.

1. A full fridge, let alone a mini fridge CAN'T take the heat put off by a quad core + TEC, it will break.

2. The intel stock cooler is crap, no way around that.

3. Condensation will kill your components faster than you can blink if you don't insulate properly

4. I think you're caps lock button is broken.........

Don't waste you time. Put that time in a job and go buy a TRUE.
