Out of interest sake adjusting the TEC voltage to 6.0V DC (keeping the HSF fan @12V DC) saw a warming on the cold side heatsink to around 1ºC. I suspect between 12V DC and 7 V DC there is an optimum efficiency setting for this TEC.

I had read TECs were better at around 50% their max ratings voltage wise but have never explored this.
