"-second it ONLY means the thermal diode is being cooled better, not the CPU." - That's right.. However.. My own system places the peltier over the CPU itself and bypasses the Thermal diode. What this means is that although the thermal diode reads a temp of 68 celsius at idle.. The working CPU is actually cooled to -15c by the 40W peltier.
I really can't comment on Vapor cooling but I've heard it's a complete waste of time (if the cold vapor leaks then you will die within 60 seconds because it tends to suck the air from the room).
