I was wondering if there is any benefit to using a low power peltier.

I have a water cooled setup, and my temps are running at around 30 C idle and 38C at full load. My idea in using a low power pelt is to reduce the the temp a little bit to around 20C. This way, you have additional cooling using a pelt without having to worry about condensation issues as the temp does not go below ambient.
