So should be something like this?: http://www.overclock.net/t/410339/info-how-to-insulate-your-mobo-for-tec-peltier-cooling I'd like to avoid using all that Conformal Coating and Dielectric Grease on that M/B, but I was worried on how the pins on the socket will remain intact, since the plastic layer will cover the area that surrounds the CPU along with the foam, but what about insulating the socket itself so the moisture won't make a short between the pins in the LGA package?

Alright, I got my hands on a 230W TEC, and as someone posted earlier, it now should be enough for the 6600k (right?). Cooling the AIO would be kinda impossible as far as I know, so I'll have to live with the risk I guess. So, if I use the AIO to cool the TEC and the TEC to cool the CPU, it should be alright as long as the M/B is insulated, right? As for the insulation, do I have to use the artistic erasers as well as the plastic coating spray, or the spray itself won't cut it? Edit: Any ideas on how to power it as well? I really don't have a clue. Thanks for your help.

So even if I get a higher wattage TEC, the solution isn't really viable for a computer that works at least 8 hours/day?

I was thinking of adding a TEC/Peltier in between the CPU and my AIO Cooler (peltier's cold side cooling the CPU, hot side of the peltier cooled by the AIO), but I was concerned about condensation, and how much the M/B has to be insulated so there won't be any shorts/damage to the M/B. I want this to be a permanent solution, not just a temporary one, so please take this into consideration as well. Should I go for it, or is it just unsuitable for the long run? I was thinking of using a method similar to this: http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=58875 The peltier that I have and I am planning to use is this one: TEC-12706 (60W), along with my 6600k.
