Here we get a look at the heatpipes and the TEC which is sandwiched between two
copper plates. Each plate has four heatpipes leading to the upper deck of aluminum
fins that are cooled by the 92mm fan. Initially, the CPU is cooled by the "heatsink"
- that is, the heatpipes and aluminum fins. When the CPU is put under load, power is
applied to the TEC and the CPU is further cooled by the cold side of the thermo
electric cooler. The hot side of the TEC is cooled by the second set of heatpipes.
