@gamingonlinux it appears to be a Peltier unit with a fan attached? My concern with units like these is that lowering die temps can make the fans spin less, meaning less airflow for the rest of the main board components.

@gamingonlinux
As someone who learned about thermodynamics a long time ago a “solid-state active cooling chip” sounds as horse puckey. (Edit: see below)

Referring to fans and thermal sinks as “century old technology” in the wankeeteering materials does not help.

They seem to use piezoelectric fans and a FLAT cooling surface (wanketeering materials, YMMV). Which would require more flow than a ribbed radiator to cool the same amount of thermal energy (century old thermodynamics principles). >>>

@gamingonlinux now waiting for a mod to drop with this.
