You are thinking of thermoelectric effect / cooling and it is an active type cooling the requires power

Basically the more heat you want to move the less efficient they become and traditional methods are better.

I bought a peltier like those (the plain blank square of 60x60), placed the cooler side in the processor and the hot surface on the cpu cooler. I got bad result. Would need a secondary cooler to cool the metal (cooper) and this cooper to reach the cpu surface somehow. Just google it, people aready use it this simple.
