The WB's round base area would be in contact with the center area of the peltier. The rest of the peltier will be exposed... Can this work?
I have not thaught of how to mount this peltier. I am thinking to mix AS5 and epoxy to glue WB and peltier together.
To avoid condensation, I will lower the voltage so that CPU remains in 25C range.

You'll need a "Cold Plate" between the tec and the CPU to even out the temps.
You'll need to fabricate a mounting bracket too. Pelts need significantly more contact pressure than a typical heat sink.
Changing the peltier's voltage to avoid condensation will be tricky, since the heat load of the CPU changes constantly. To keep the CPU "in the 25'c range" the tec itself (and the cold plate) will have to be significantly cooler.
