You're thinking of a peltier device.

The AthlonXP can be run with a normal heatsink/fan combo, but many people run
a water-cooler system just to be cool (no pun intended) and because they are
overclocking thier chips.

The P4 is actually very thermally efficent(sp). A fairly normal sized heatsink
and fan is sufficient.

Plus, AMD's experiments with Si-28 (a purer, thermally better Silicon isotope).
