Hold up. As for a heatsink I would recommend a PAL 6032 but as for a peltier, I would only recommend one of those if you intend to go watercooling. An air cooler is just not good enough to discipate the heat coming from a peltier and the result is the peltier actually heating the CPU instead of cooling it. Avoid a peltier unless you intend to go to watercooling!

So what could i do for a water cooling system and how much would that cost?? Also do u have any site that has pics of a water cooled system i only found one @ Coolerstar (http://www.coolerstar.com/watercooler1.html). Its reletivley cheap $89 sale. is this the type of sys you are talking about

k as far as cooling.... i would go with a Alpha Pep 66 w/delta fan. im currently at 1.55 with a 1.33 chip , as far as i can go with this thing on my iwill board without instablilities..... could be sound card(xgamer) or it could be as far as i can go... with my rig im currently at 35c under full load.... and that is nothing but air cooling boys and girls.... i love it... if you want to get anything above 1.55 i would go with peltier and watercooling... thats the only next step i can take.

But here is one for you.... why go higher than that...???
do you really need anything above what ive been able to acheive ? this thing runs 90% of apps and games faster than anything ive seen, and beats the pants off anything in#ell has..just a thought...

hey acid, still searching for the cooling solution. You will get much higher, a lot more safely if you water cool. What you need is a water kit w/o the jacket so you can get the dangerden waterblock. For aircooling, anything with a delta 38cfm fan seems to cool well(FOP 38, PEP66, that monster swifttech one).
