wanting to do a pelt setup

what do i need besides a psu for the pelt, the pelt itself, to do a peltier setup? can i have and slk947 ontop of the peltier?

you could use an aircooled peltier, but you need to tell us what kind of processor you're planning on cooling with that.

if you are planning on using an air cooled peltier on your P3, then it's quite possible and practical to do. but if you are going to try and cool a hotter processor, then I'd have to say go with watercooled peltiers if you really want peltier cooling.

also, you'll need a cold plate. you sandwich the peltier between the cold plate and HSF, and the coldplate is what touches the CPU. good mounting pressure will be good for your temperatures.

besides that, you'll need to get yourself some good insulation, depending on your temperatures. otherwise you'll have problems with condensation.

have a look around the peltier section of overclockers.com.

GOOD advice SHIYAN, I would however go with the water cooled Pelt setup....

And btw Pvc_and_Frost God hasn't forsaken us just put us in Left Field...

I have the MCX462+T on my main rig on an XP 2400+. I really like it. I have a 92mm tornado on it and keeps me nice and cool.

the proc would be a 2500 barton that i dont have

EDIT: ok i just read a bunch of pelt articles and well, it sounds tooo complicated for my newb essence. only watercooling for now for me.
