From my experience with peltiers... DO NOT accidentally put it on upside down! (don't ask) it will almost instantly fry your cpu...

Make sure that you have a very good heatsink/fan combo, or watercooled setup.

Thermal paste is a must, and make sure you ps can handle the extra load.

That should about do it!

You'll need to get a separte PSU...a 24V one. You'll also need to get watercooling.

The SK6 should do you fine, though, as long as you can stand the noise. :)

with a peltier on an AMD chip you NEED watercooling, if you just use the SK6 temps will actually go up, as a peltier has a more or less set temp difference from hot to cold, so the SK6 cant get rid of hotside heat, so hotside gets hotter, this makes the cold side get hotter. this will not settle down, it gets worse and worse and will fry the chip in a matter of seconds i expect.....
