What do you guys think of peltier coolers? I would like to try one out but I've heard they cause condensation. Is there any way to prevent this? I've seen some units tested thet came with a heatsink/fan but could never find out where to purchase them, oh yeah they also had some sort of a gasket that was supposed to stop condensation. Ever seen this? one was called a swiftechmc370-4 but it's not on their website. thanks in advance for any info

the way i would prevent condenation is to keep the CPU temperature up at all times such as running Folding or crunching for seti
 
HUH!!! Isnt s.e.t.i. where they have all those satellite dishes pointed into space in new mexico? I'm not really sure what you mean, thanks though

Since you are running a very fast AMD processor the swiftechmc370-4 is not a very good choice. I think the reason you don't see the 370-4 is because it was recalled. If you want a peltier I strongly recommend using water cooling along with it. Aircooled peltier are ok for CPUs that put out much less heat than a T-bird or duron.
