Abstract: A power supply monitoring system with power supply apparatus is operated by a software instruction. The power supply monitoring system includes a computer motherboard, a power supply, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor built in the power supply and coupled to an electro-thermal adjusting unit of the power supply; a transmission line, for connecting the microprocessor to a transmission interface of the computer motherboard; and a power supply status monitor program, for displaying operating status information of the power supply and providing a software instruction to control the electro-thermal adjusting unit of the power supply.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thermoelectric cooling apparatus for cooling an electronic device such as a CPU, or a computer chip. The apparatus cools the electronic device by two stages. In the first stage, a heat absorbing block collects the heat produced by the electronic device and the apparatus pre-cools the electronic device by dissipating a portion of the collected heat in a distant location through a front heat conductive device and a front radiator. Thereby the heat of the electronic device is reduced to a degree that a TEC can efficiently handle. In the second stage, a TEC of the apparatus dissipate the residual of the heat produced by the electronic device through at least a back heat pipe and a back radiator.
