Make sure the Watts given out by your CPU is less than the Watts of the Peltier, don't forget you need to cool the Peltier as well!!!!!
www.wetandchillychips.com has a 320Watt Peltier!

The general rule of thumb is the pelt should be about twice the wattage of your CPU. You may want to read the entire pelt section on the front page. Some links on pelts to help you learn.

I think the 50% rule is a little too close to the edge.
BTW, if you look at the dewpoint charts you will see
that for most indoor environments you can safely
go 7C below ambient before condensation shows up.
Controlling a pelt that closely is another issue.

well i want it to be able to cool 100W to ambient temp +/- a little because i am sure i'll be able to oc it that high if i get a pelt so i am trying to figure out what i would need to keep it at about ambient and a 200 watt pelt sounds like it would cool to a good deal below ambient

Peltier failure is very rare. Peltiers are more reliable than most fans and even water pumps so I wouldn't worry about it. The only bad thing that could happen with a peltier is if the wires came off.
