Hi everyone!
I hope I'm not repeating another thread (I searched) and that my idea is not too exotic.
I want to install a thermoelectric element in my water cooled pc with 2 processors. My power supply is powerful enough to handle 2 x TEC1 12706 12V 6A.
The problem is that if I will run them at full power I will encounter following problems:
1. The TEC will start to heat up itself if run at full power.
2. At optimal power of 50% it will cool the processors below ~15 degrees (might easily reach minus) which will create condensate.
3. Power consumption is unnecessary and it is too much cooling.
So I have the following goal:
The controller should operate the voltage in a such a way to keep the temperature ~20 degrees. When temperature goes up - the voltage goes slightly up so to keep the temperature within limits.
The idea with relay its not sexy due to constant ticking of the relay which will be annoying.
I'm not much advanced in electronics, but to pick up components and assemble I will manage!
Big thanks in advance to anybody involved in solving my problem!
