Rated for 80 watts and capable of a 68°C temperature drop, it operates effectively from as low as 5 volts, offering flexible power options. Its superior build quality, thicker wiring, and advanced materials make it ideal for demanding applications like desktop and GPU cooling, delivering professional-grade performance with energy-conscious efficiency. ## Description Disappointed with the finicky performance or some inexpensive Peltiers, we are happy to offer a higher grade 12706 module - a cleaner, better made chip made of top grade materials, guaranteed to be more reliable in extreme conditions, less prone to failure, and overall, aesthetically more satisfying. Review: Great Little Peltier Cooler! - Purchased this TEC1 Peltier Cooler to save/repair a beverage chiller based on reviews and I'm very pleased with it. Compared to the old peltier cooler, it is slightly thicker, heavier and has thicker wiring so it is probably better quality unit than what it replaced. A few points to help others: Some reviews said there was no indication of cold vs hot side. I used a battery and laser thermometer to determine which was which and marked it w a pen. It is also very important to clean everything from dust and remove the old chalky thermal paste and use new paste. I used a good quality paste for processors I found here on desertcart. You don't need much! You might also consider replacing the controller board to avoid dealing with replacing capacitors or the original board later on. And I found that the chiller is much more efficient than before with the new TEC1 peltier cooler and new thermal paste, so this TEC1 cooler is keeping the chiller colder despite being at a lower setting, saving money on power use. In other words for me its a: win, win, win. Hope this is helpful! Review: High quality - Double the price of some others but worth the price I believe. They appear to be slightly thicker and have a larger gauge wire attachment (larger gauge meaning heavier duty). ## Features - Also available in 12715 - 40*40mm, 12720 - 50*50mm, and 12710 - 40*40 copper substrate models. - A higher grade 12706 offered by Cold & Colder. Greater reliability, smoother surface, cleaner materials and the latest manufacturing advances result in a better Peltier module. Many factories use less thermoelectric material and sell under-powered 12706 units. This unit pulls true 6 amps at maximum voltage. - Rated up to 80 watts at 16.5 Volts. Can attain a delta-T value of 68 degrees C. - Reaches freezing temperatures at as low as 5 volts input. We highly recommend experimenting with using lower voltages, or daisy-chaining 2 or 3 Peltier chips in series to a 12V power supply, to achieve much higher COP values and produce dramatically less waste heat. Most users do not need the -30C these chips can achieve at maximum voltages and running at lower volts is extremely efficient. - Try Cold & Colder's premium TEC1-12715 for even more power in the same package! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VLTSXVV | | Best Sellers Rank | #617 in Heatsinks | | Brand | Cold & Colder | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Graphic Cards | | Cooling Method | Peltier | | Date First Available | July 27, 2019 | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Item model number | 12706 | | Manufacturer | Cold & Colder | | Material | Bismuth Telluride | | Noise Level | 80 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Connector Type | Wired | | Product Dimensions | 0.14"H | | UPC | 647732872439 | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 80 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cold & Colder - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Graphic Cards - **Cooling Method:** Peltier - **Material:** Bismuth Telluride - **Noise Level:** 80 Decibels - **Power Connector Type:** Wired - **Product Dimensions:** 0.14"H - **UPC:** 647732872439 - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 80 watts ## Images ![TEC1-12706 High Grade Peltier Cooler Module Chip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O-5nLfIBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Last question: do all peltiers then ,with the mark sr, fall under your brand? thank you.** A: No, not at all. It is very likely you will find other peltier chips with various performance characteristics that will also say SR on it. Do not use this as a way of determining chip quality or performance. There are several easy ways to test the true amp draw of these chips using a battery and a multimeter, you can contact us for more detailed help. Many 12706 and 12715's on the market are under-powered because the thermoelectic material is very expensive and it's a fast way to reduce chip cost, is to use less thermoelectric material. Only by testing can you be sure of what you are getting. **Q: What does SR mean under the model number? Thank you.** A: Hello, it's just an internal manufacturing code. **Q: What is the outside material of these made of (The white part)?** A: Ceramic (Al2O3 - Alumina or aluminum oxide). **Q: What are the product (chip) dimensions, HxWxD ?** A: 1.5 inches but very close to 1 and 9/16 x 1and 5/8 I took this without my glass's on when I did my project, I went with 1.5 x1.5 inches. I hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Little Peltier Cooler! *by J***N on March 23, 2025* Purchased this TEC1 Peltier Cooler to save/repair a beverage chiller based on reviews and I'm very pleased with it.

They appear to be slightly thicker and have a larger gauge wire attachment (larger gauge meaning heavier duty). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good replacement in my wine fridge *by L***O on August 3, 2024* My wine refrigerator stopped cooling. I pulled apart the unit and was surprised to see the cooling was done with a TEC1-12706 Cooler Chip. So, I ordered this chip as a replacement and the refrigerator started cooling again. The refrigerator has been working for the last 2-3 months since I switched to this chip. One important detail, the interwebs told me I needed thermal paste as part of the replacement. I purchased thermal paste for $6 on Amazon. ## Frequently Bought Together - TEC1-12706 High Grade Peltier Cooler Module Chip - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
