It won't work.

You need a hot loop and a cold loop if you want to use a TEC as a water cooler. Otherwise, you're just pumping heat into the loop and more or less banging your head against the Second Law.

At best, you'll get the same performance you would have if you added another heat source (like another CPU) instead of a peltier device.
