Peltier effect Cooling

Has anyone ever tried cooling their CPU/GPU with Peltier effect devices?

I have been thinking about this many times but never game enough to try it!!

There is not much on this subject, if you go to YouTube and search for "Peltier cooling" there is quite a lot on the devices but very little on PC cooling, basically if you have seen or purchased drink coolers for the car that plug into you cigarette lighter, these contain a a peltier device, it has 2 wires, just add 12v dc, one side gets hot the other freezes, they are about 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8", you would place a heatsink on CPU that has a flat area to mount this device with a heatsink on that, then you need an electronic thermostat to switch the device on when temperature rises and off when cooled!

Yeh but I'm not game enough to try it!

really need an old test pc to see how it would work, I think it'd be great for a water cooled system!

Water Cooling is for drinking. Already been done.

The solution in Liquid Cooling would make you sick or worse.

Check this out for a GPU Cooler.
