using the motherboard mount holes for clamping a waterblock/pelt/coldplate/cpu is not going to work. A peltier unit requires 100-200 pounds of pressure while the Athlon cpu requires 16-25lbs of pressure. To get the proper pressure on the pelt/waterblocl/coldplate, you have to bolt them together. Melcor.com has a section on how to properly assemble this. Also, the 156 watt pelts aren't historically known to lower athlon temps by all that much over plain water cooling.
