Question about tecs. Say I get a 220w peltier for my cpu. If I used a variable psu to power this, it will be able to run say 110w instead. I'm not sure if I want to have a tec going all the way down to -10c or whatever. Maybe just hold it above ambient. It wont burn it out or anything will it?

Also, anyone rated the temps on video cards? I have a 8500 64mb retail, and only have a crystal orb on it right now. I'm sure the newer cards are way up there in heat output. The new GF FX looks way to considering the sink they put on those, not to mention the 9700/9800s that are overclocked.

Its funny to have so much time put into extending a cpu by decreasing the temps, but the video cards are always being pushed by the companies with no thought of the future. I dont like losing parts of my pc from anything. Lost a cd-rw from pci overclocking, and a dvd from the same. 300 dollars is enough for me.
