I have a design in mind to use a peltier module to cool my res using a water block on the cool side and either another block on the hot side or a heat sink... The mechanics of the device i will be building i can handle...
My problem is that i do not know how to power the TEC properly...
I tried to power it with the adapters i use to power my pc fans but i burnt it out in less then 5 minutes... Obvously it is not rated to handel that type of power consumption... Duh... =0
Any one with better knoledge of electricity how can i power this lil thing...
I was thinking about ripping a power source out of an old pc case and using that but i would still be totally unsure of what i am doing... Do i even need that much power... Is there something more efficient i can use to power the TEC... ??
If the PC power source is my best option how would i go about modifying it to run only the TEC... ??
