👾 SiH²O, TECs, AMD, PPC 👾

Have you ever used a 'thermo-electric cooler' (aka Peltier device)? Have you used one on an AMD Socket AM5, and not burned down the system or frozen cooling lines? If so, I'd love to hear experiences!

I'm considering the above on a hypothesis/PoC sorta basic, insofar as exploring the options for a potential application during restoration of my watercooled PowerMac G5 (4C PPC-970MP).

The last time I looked into TECs was at the start of the water-cooling wars in 1999... assumptions assume that the landscape is more efficient and less slap-together.
