Can I use this as a chiller?

Would this work if I powered it into my powersupply since it's 12V?
Basically I just want to put my res in it.

Won't work, its a peltier based cooler and very low capacity.

A 3 amp thermoelectric module cools its contents to 40°F below the outside temperature.

Not enough power to have any effect on temps of a cpu water cooler.

If it were enough, you wouldn't be able to plug it into the psu

Agreed. Bad idea.

It could serve as a heatercore cooling assist:shrug: but probably not worth the power usage.
