as some people on this board know, i'm planning on getting an nforce2 and a 2100+ in the near future. i was going to get an SLK-900 to cool it, but then i remembered the MCX462+T, which is the massive swiftech heatsink with a big peltier added to it. i have 3 questions for anyone who has experience with peltiers: 1. is 80 watts (peltiers rating) gonna be enough for a 2.4 gHz (my goal) t-bred 2. is dielectric grease as messy as it looks 3. is it really gonna give me extra headroom?

thanks!

its worth the extra money when you watercool im not sure about air cooling a pelt. And no dielectric grease is not very messy you just stick some in the middle of the socket and push some into the little holes and your set you can wipe it off with a towel you don't even need to wash your hands. hope that was helpfull:)
