im buying a tbird 1.2 ghz and dunno what kind of mobo yet and i was wandering what kind of cooling to get it up to atleast 1500 to 1600 mhz think this would be good enough the sledgehog one http://www.peltec.f2s.com/socket.html

That rig won't even come close to helping you. The Hedgehog alone, with a fan adapter and a big fan will do better.
I use a big honkin air cooler. I tried it with a 156W peltier and with a 65W configuration on my cpu, it
only ran 6C cooler, under load, than the heatsink alone.
If you want to use a peltier to help you achive 1.66G from a 1.2G processor, better plan in at least a 124W one and a hefty water cooling rig to go with it.

That thing is a weak pansy @$$ed cooler. Go watercooling, you will love it.

Watercooling is THE way to go. It's easy, looks cool, and works the best.

Hahahhahaha, once again, no gaurantees from these guys huh? thats cause a pal6035 and a 55w pelt. wont keep an overclocked Celly-300 below freezing, unless your running rain on it . But if you have too much cash lying around, they could sure help with that !
