Yes..But it's better to wait and learn how to WC well before you try Pelt...There is a lot more to it then just putting a pelt under your WB..

also, how much would a peltier cost w/ all components including PSU
Pelt...$40 bux...Or less....You can get them on E-Bay for like $10 bux sometimes...

PSU...$90 - $150 bux, unless you can find one cheaper on E-Bay or someplace....

Conformal to condensation proof your board...$10-$15 bux....

Dielctric grease for the socket....$5 bux....

Neoprene sheets for your board $10-$15 bux...

Total.....$155 - $225....Just a ball park figure I'm sure that I have forgotten something...Oh Yeah Cold Plate..$5 bux...
yeah, id rather spend that money on a new monitor, maybe in a few months... or years

Peltiers are a lot of fun to work with...If you know what you're doing. I am currently bringing a new TEC rig online, and I look forward to seeing 0C load temps

Looking forward to seeing your temp's Burn...I'm either going to do a Pelt and a Ghetto chiller or just a good chiller...I really haven't made up my mind on it yet....It looks like to much fun not to play with it ....

DFI-Street has new Meanwell PSU's and 80-110Watt Pelts in their 4Sale thread for a total of $50.
But, still best to wait till ya got the WC'ing thang down first.
