Abstract

The rising heat generation of processor have sparked many interest in active cooling solution. Current cooling solution can’t effectively cool down a higher end processor effective. Thus this where thermoelectric cooler comes into place, when voltage is applied it would create a temperature difference between the surface. This allows heat exchange to occur at a more rapid rate. However thermoelectric cooler are notoriously known for their high power consumption, high power dissipation, low coefficient of performance (C.O.P) and limitation due to inefficient system used. Therefore in this project it would be covering the optimization of the thermoelectric cooler cooling module for active central processing unit cooling. To tackle the issue several concept are proposed and weighted. A proof of concept would be designed, fabricated and evaluated. Apart from that the proof of concept serve as a guidelines and the result generated would be used in the final prototype in which it would be optimized further with the use of a PID controller designed. The final prototype is benchmarked and compared to the current cooling solution, in which it’s able to cool down an i5-2500k processor under load to 40celcius. Based on the result it’s shown that the prototype are able to achieve the intended purpose with an optimized power consumption.
