This is a peltier with a range of 226-245W. It ships with bare leads. Using the peltier cooling effect, one side gets very hot as the other side gets freezing cold. Ideally used for water cooling as water cooling can keep the hot side of the the peltier from burning out the entire unit.

Maximum operating temp:	125 C
Imax:	24 Amps
Qmax:	245.1 Watts
Vmax:	15.2 Volts
Delta Tmax:	>67 (C)
Size:	50mm X 50mm X 3.10mm

well I managed to get my intel QX9770 down to 40o ferh. with an awsome liqiud cooling system but if you want the best in ultimate cooling go for the qmax. waiting on it to arrive now because after several days of tweeking I found that this simply isn''t enough to get me to where I wanna be. good for first timers worried about condensation or for people looking to get moderate overclocks out of there system or to use to prolong the life of your cpu.

(Q6600B33.0ghz] -10*->45*c under prime 95) at and after 3ghz on q6600, there comes a problem, this peltier can only move a specific amount of heat, at factory spec it pretty much keeps it at -10*c the whole time, but when you start to oc it quickly becomes apparent how soon you reach the max exchange rate, at which point temps become even worse then if you kept stock cooler,(its basically insulating all heat past its max transfer rate, which means at load soon after 3+ghz, it starts to reach damaging temps) no joke. unless you have 20 free amps on your 12v and/or dont plan to oc much, OR you plan to use a cascade setup/ multi TEC setup, stay with liquid cooling or even just air, this thing requires insain power and time to rig (insulation/ lapping etc) and if you have light duty wires connected to it, they will litterally melt or combust and your cpu becomes in danger of blowing up. if electric bills are any concern of yours at all, forget about TEC all together. the idea has insain potential, just make sure you research and plan acordingly, and have cash to shell for electric bills. P.S. if you have a dual or single core, you''ll probably get much better results due to half or less heat wattage then a quad.

Works fine, the leads aren''t flimsy like some cheaply made tec''s. Already insulated on the sides. However under full load i reached 38*C at 3ghz on a dual core amd 3800 skt939 chip... but idle at ~-10*c might be because of placement, or the coldplate needed to be lapped though. Didnt notice any gains in performance, but my proc'' wasn''t cold bugging..
