Unless you have a very large heatsink, peltiers are useless for CPU cooling.
You have to DO something with all of the heat that is being pumped from the
other side of the element..... Last time I messed around with that, a small
30-40Watt peltier required a heatsink the size of small novel to even be
effective and keep the heat from going back over to the other side of the
element. This was back when CPU's only pumped about 50Watts. Nowadays,
it's just impractical. So, basically, peltiers came and went. Old-school.

Water,or any liquid, is not an optimal cooling solution. Too complex,
prone to leaks and an enginering nightmare. I am surprised that
overclockers and computer cooling freaks haven't yet discovered
Peltier thermoelectric heat pump chips. Stop living in the 20th
century!
