It's highly unlikely you would be a mod now, since your so new.

But lets just get back on topic please.

They make heatsink and fan based TEC coolers, and they work pretty well. Heres one from frozencpu.com

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/54..._ULT33186.html
That is the only fan based tec cooler I've found. The rest are liquid kits by Swiftech or CoolIT based on what I've found. This tec stuff fascinates me.

Phase-change cooling is the best way to really cool your processor, but unless you have $800+ and dont mind paying a high electricity bill, then it's probably not for you. I was actually going to talk a little bit about phase-change cooling as well for a bit.
