Peltier cooling is unfortunately not much use for the kind of hardware that's usually discussed here, save for a few exotic setups.
Still a big development for a bunch of fields.

If you would have read the article you'd know they have (supposedly) almost doubled the performance over standard thermo-electric modules.
This will literally make active cooling mainstream if they can fab and deliver.

Ya but part of this is that it can help potentially condense heat into energy. So you could use the hot air from all that electricity which gets converted into 100% heat exhaust from GPUs. Then convert x% of that electricity/heat back into electricity. May seem elaborate but when you are talking these massive setups, where they literally cannot find energy to scale, and are revamping old nuclear power plants, etc to find any last morsel of energy… might be viable. Never say never. Might not work now. But now that it’s 2x as efficient, maybe soon energy costs 2x the amount and “it’s 3x too cost inefficient” just turned into something economically viable.

Fancy custom loop feature for halo PSUs in client? A power scavenging system you hook into the PSU and add to the loop.
Also, one word: SDD. 4 words: Halo low profile cooler 5 words: 16 pin modern connector aid.

Might be useful for a Formula 1 car.

I see you Horner!
