Default peltier cooling

I plan on overclocking my CPU and need some cooler cooling than fans I thought about water coolig then saw peltier cooling. Is peltier cooling better than liquid cooling or not really because the peltier cooling creates more heat and uses lots of power.

Peltiers have the potential to cool better but it comes at the cost of somehow dissapating a tremendous amount of heat, usually by watercooling the pelt itself. One cold enough to cool a modern processor would consume a lot of power as well. Pelts require a fair degree of knowledge to pull off too.

yes, but a peltier able to cool the cpu (below ambient) will need more power, i think almost
300W (?) that means you will need a separate psu for the peltier (like meanwells).

Ive seen a such thing as a 950w psu on a couple sites, I think Xoxide.com has them. Itll cost you though...
