w0w! that looks spiff-riffic.
i suppose there will be software that can communicate with that pci-card? Or is it only there to read off of the bus for temperatures?

I sure would like to know how they can cool a TEC big enough to handle a 4ghz CPU, with only air cooling. Simple, It cant be done together with the tec.

And yes it's worth it, You'll have to watercool it.

Im done with the tec's though. Vapchill PE monday

ya, I was wondering about this TEC cooling. I tried it once with my Alpha cooler and even with a low wattage TEC, air wasnt enough to cool it. I don't see an aluminum hsf cutting the mustard here

That SubZero4G looks like a good idea for a beginner. Peltiers can cause condensation in the cause if you don't know what you're doing. If you like overclocking heavily and low noise, then Peltier is a good way to go.

I like peltier for the quiet and powerful cooling and have never had a problem with condensation. A few articles you might want to glimpse through that point out some rewards/dangers:
