So, inspired by a joke about using a TEC, I decided to try it out myself. Got two copper plates, 40x40mm, and a 60w TEC. Planning to run it off a 12v charger. Gonna seal everything with silicone to avoid condensation. Waiting for my 2PAC to arrive this week. Will share updates and pics.

"The unlucky 2PAC" sounds like a solid project. Count me in to follow along. Extreme overclocking is always exciting!

https://ibb.co/i3hzpq Here's a sneak peek of the TEC mounted on the cooler. It's a bit wobbly right now, but I wanted to see if everything fits before I build a stronger mount.

Looks promising! Sealing it is smart, especially with all that condensation starting to show lol.

Forget it. All my updates are getting wiped, so I’m just keeping this for myself.

That sucks you’re not sharing anymore. How did it all turn out?
