With all cores running, the TDP of the cpu exceeds that of the cold side of the peltier, which is 136w cooling power. (roughly)
I can get a 5ghz submission with all but 2 cores shut off.
4.6ghz on 4 cores is about the max.
Frozen at idle at any speed......
TECs are a challenge no doubt.
Speaking of "air" cooling, I've run a sempron 140 without a heat sink at all. I had the cpu around 2ghz .9v (or less) and a fan on the IHS plate. Shut off a core it's a 25w cpu, lower volts and clocks, you don't need a heat sink
