I don't know about using that Scythe with a peltier. It could barely cool a CPU running at stock speed in the reviews I read. Forget any overclocking. Adding a peltier would just make it worse. Why not try something like a Thermaltake Sonic Tower or Big Typhoon? They're both usable passively, with the option to use a 120mm fan, which can be very nearly silent. They're a bit more practical than the Scythe.
