Awesome little program!

Questions though...How accurate is it??
How are these wattage numbers derived?
Are those power ratings at 100% load or idle or what?

If these numbers are correct and at 100% load, then even at worst case with a T-bird at 1.5GHz and 2.05V, a 103W peltier would do the job. This doesn't seem to jive with what I've heard people saying about pelts and T-birds. People seem to be saying anything under 120W is not good enuf.

Or do I not have this right? Let's see. hypothetically speaking here:

If the cpu is dissipating 100W (at the time)and the pelt is a 100W pelt (running at voltage needed and hot side sufficiently cooled to actually be a 100W pelt), what is the temp of the cpu? Room temp?
