Personally, I don't intend to try this because i'm already running a 122 Watt peltier on my Athlon, and am on a bit too tight of a budget to try a low powered pelt on another computer, however from experience I know that a peltier does conduct because I have in the past (accidently) left the peltier powered off, and it didn't fry. The reason it does conduct (though not superbly) is because the individual thermocouples are two layers of metal, which do conduct.
