By high efficiency, do you mean better efficiency than the pelts in common use today on CPU's?
If you mean the pelts in use today, there are already temperature controllers that will work. What are you willing to pay? The devices I know of that you can buy "off the shelf" are $500+.
I am going to build one for myself with a hygrometer built in to keep the minimum temperature above the dewpoint. I was thinking about developing it into a product, but I've pretty well concluded the market is not there. I couldn't afford to sell them for less than $180 and OC'ers tend to be inherently cheap.
Also pelts aren't keeping up with the increasing heat generation of CPU's. Unless something like this
Coolchips stuff becomes a reality there doesn't appear to be a future for pelts. (I'm somewhat suspicious that the coolchips stuff is a scam.)
