Unfortunately, I doubt you'd end up with a functioning CPU if you used that pelt. A rule of thumb I heard is to have at least twice the wattage of pelt as your heat source in order to get any cooling whatsoever. Say your CPU puts out 80W. You'd need more than 160W, which means that the lowest model I know of would be a 172W peltier.
Remember, though, that is a rule of thumb, NOT a replacement for experience or real design engineering. Peeps who pelt their CPU nowadays go straight for the throat and seem to prefer watercooled 226W pelts. Even better would be using chilled coolant for the backside of the pelt, but that's fairly extreme.
Remember that an effective pelt will be extremely power hungry. Be prepared for your electric company to send you love letters.
