With a modification to the PSU and a few peltiers, you can get the computer to recycle some of its wasted heat.
Eh, eh? Sorry, Nice Coder: no. Since a computer doesn't use heat for anything, there is nothing have it do when you recyle it. All heat in a computer is waste. A peltier adds to the total energy usage of a computer.Originally posted by chroot

power generating modules
HZ-2 2.5 watts output
HZ-14 14 watts output
HZ-9 9 watts output
HZ-20 19 watts outputThe best energy-production-specific peltiers currently turn ~4.5 percent of their input heat into electrical energy.
No: its all entropy either way.Does the entropy of a computer increase with its density of gates, given an equal overall energy input?
Not sure if that applies to your question, but to the matter of computer energy consumption it does:Originally posted by Loren Booda

As with anything else, peltiers are used whatever way one would like. Using a peltier for active cooling, as you describe, causes the total energy use of the computer to go up.Originally posted by russ_watters
but in a compter, peltiers are used the opposite way from which you describe. A voltage is applied to create a temperature difference as so to assist in cooling. If used the way you describe, a peltier would add to the cooling requirements of a pc.Peltier junctions produce voltage when placed between two heat sinks of different temperature.
Computer energy conservation refers to the practice of reducing the energy consumption of computers and other electronic devices in order to conserve energy and reduce their environmental impact.
Computer energy conservation is important for several reasons. First, it helps reduce our overall energy consumption, which is important for protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. Additionally, reducing energy consumption can also lower energy costs for individuals and organizations. Finally, computer energy conservation can help extend the lifespan of electronic devices and reduce the need for frequent replacements, which can also have a positive impact on the environment.
There are several ways to conserve energy on your computer, including turning off your computer when it is not in use, adjusting the power settings to reduce energy consumption, and using energy-efficient hardware and components. You can also unplug devices when they are fully charged and use power strips to easily turn off multiple devices at once.
One common myth is that turning a computer on and off uses more energy than leaving it on. In reality, turning a computer on and off actually uses less energy than leaving it on for an extended period of time. Another myth is that screen savers save energy, when in fact, they do not. Additionally, many people believe that screensavers prevent screen burn-in, but modern screens are not susceptible to this issue.
Organizations can promote computer energy conservation by implementing energy-saving policies and procedures, providing training on energy-efficient practices, and encouraging employees to power down their computers and other devices when not in use. Organizations can also invest in energy-efficient equipment and consider using renewable energy sources to power their technology.
