I agree with you stevo. My strategy was a bit different in that I really do not want to be bothered with the hassle and the condensation risk of a peltier to chip setup. I have just heard way too many horror stories about peltiers that people thought were perfectly insulated, but still produced condensation and ruined mobos and cpu's. I also acknowledge that there are many who have condensation proof peltier setups that work well.

I think if I was running a P3 and not Athlon, I might be inclined to setup my peltiers like yours as the cpu wattage is much lower.

My next step in cooling my system is to build a miniature air conditioner with my other pelt., hoping to bring case temps. and all temps. down further. My ultimate goal is to achieve ambient temps. for my CPU without peltiers on the chip itself.
