I have a P3-933 on an Asus CUSL2 with a FOP38 blowing on it right now.
The case usually hovers around 30-33C(my house is pretty warm), and the CPU tops out at 44C under full load when the case is 33(on warm days). :)
Now, my question is, what size(wattage) of peltier(learning what's all involved with installing one and it's related "stuff" will come in a whole other thread, once I decide what to buy :)) should I be looking to get as I have the following in my case:
300W PowerMan PS
2x80mm case fans
1xslot cooler
1x60mm(the Delta on the FOP)
CDRW drive
DVD drive
1 hard drive


Well, I suppose I might as well just ask now then too...is just a simple peltier jammed under the FOP going to give me a little bit of a temperature drop, or am I going about this entirely wrong??

I'm no expert but if you want to use a peltier its probably a good idea to water cool. Why not just start out water cooling and maybe move up to a peltier later on. Even a ghetto water cooling setup is better then any HSF.
