Peltier accommodating cold plates?

[riprock]

Danger Den has an excellent water block setup for incorporating peltiers (Maze-2, etc) however they do NOT have a similar HSF solution.

Does anyone know of a place that has the same setup but for HSF cooling rather than a water block?

It would basically be two cold plates than can be screwed together with a peltier inbetween, have extra holes for the platic bolt hold-downs to screw into the mobo, and I guess another set of holes to screw the HSF onto the top coldplate.

Anyone...anyone...anyone?

if your running a intel cpu you could MAYBE get away with running a pelt with a hsf

but with a Tbirds/AMD cpus you HAVE to use a waterblock sense hsf will not cool the pelt well enough

Didn't think about that. I am switching from a C566 to a XP1800 or 1900 in a month or so.

It would still have to work better than just a HSF tho, right?

id go with water cooling.. ive been told this be4.. cuz i had the same idea.. but think of it this way.. if theres a hsf out on the planet that can cool the 70C (or so) degrees on the hot side of a Tec then why even need a tec? if theres hsf good enough to handle a tec, why not just use that all so good hsf on the processor alone? i hope im getting somewhere... :)

Yeah you will need watercooling with pelts and an AMD. FWIW, after playing with several different pelt setups, the ticket for current Birds and the lower heat output XPs is dual 120s with a Maze 2.2. This is assuming your watercooling system can deal with the 350 plus watts of heat from the pelts and the CPU. Not for the light hearted! :D
