How do you go below the Ambient Temp??
I got the
Vigor Monsoon? II Active TEC CPU Cooling . It's has thermal electric heat pipes(4 of them) that use electricity to actually move heat from 1 area to another. This pulls the heat off the CPU and up to the fins more quickly. This technology has been available to consumers since the 90's.
At idle I see my CPU at 29c... below the mothorboard at 37c. The Extremes run hot... but so far I have never exceeded 47c even at sustained MAX.
Heres a link to the Thermal Electric Thing
