Hey peltiers are used because of there small size, but they are very ineffcient. A pelt will usually cool about 2/3 its rated wattage assuming you are giving it the required voltage and amerage it wants. A 36 watt tec will actaully only cool maximum 24 watts 2/3*24. Same with people thinking a 130 watt tec will cool a athlon.....130 watt*2/3 =86.6. That is the maximum it will do if you are giving the correct amperage and volatage, and have it seated perfectly.....So generally you can multiply 2/3 * tec power rating and assume a bit less.
