Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for dissipating heat within the interior of an information handling system. Heat from a heat source is directed to a heat sink and is also directed in parallel to a thermoelectric cooler. The thermoelectric cooler is oriented to direct heat in the direction of a second heat sink. A feedback communications link may be provided between the thermoelectric cooler and the heat source to regulate the operation of the thermoelectric cooler so that the temperature in the vicinity of the heat source is regulated within a temperature range.
