We are on a road trip right now. we travel with a 12v peltier cooler. (don't need to lug around water/ice), the night before we leave, the internal fan whines and freezes.
Wife, what was that? I check, fan just died.
Wife, fuck now what, if we move it to the other cooler i won't all fit with ice.
Me: TO THE BASEMENT.....(DAD-CAPE) Shelves, boxes, PC parts, dig dig, Intel stock cooler on it's heatsink. flush cutters, snip strip, tape.
If I had more time, I'd have bought a direct replacement from noctua (already replaced the eternal fan years ago)
Having parts around is a bad investment until that one time you need it now.
You get a zonk for using the most inefficient cooling technologies, but kudos for giving me faith that my extra stock coolers will come in handy eventually...
Oh the cooler is horribly inefficient, but it's super light. And for the price of a battery powered compressor cooler, it'll be many, many years before it makes up for the price difference in electricity usage.
It's for a portable cooler though, you're not optimizing for heat removal per watt, you're optimizing for size and weight.
Perhaps I'm missing why an Igloo cooler won't work here.
They said they didn't wanna carry ice. There's no reason why it wouldn't work, they just didn't want to bother with ice.
