Have you heard of one of these supposed new 'Super Coolers'?

[Richdog]

Found this on ebay, is it too good to be true? And to whoever understands the tech-gabble about its cooling properties, are they good? Has anyone seen one before?

It is just a Peltier unit sitting on a sink. Specs do not sound enough to cool an XP or PF4 as much as they say. I would stear clear of this. You will need a water set up to use this safely.

The condensation this will produce will ruin your board and chip in short time if you are not set up to get rid of the heat. Just not worth it without H2O cooling IMHO.

Uh think thats just a little small Peltier that would not cool much more than a moderately warm chipset chip...

Peltier`s were the stuff back during the Celeron 366 days... The wattage output of a high MHz cpu these days makes them worthless plus the condensation was a real pain to deal with...
