Innovative H2C Cooling
The Dell XPS 720 H2C Edition offers an innovative, two-stage cooling system that helps keep your processor cool, even when it's overclocked. The H2C hybrid solution combines a liquid radiator, a thermoelectric cooling module and control circuitry, optimizing CPU cooling with minimal power consumption. The result is a processor that stays cool3 when it's overclocked.

so TEC ?? wonder what kind wattage it has in order to cool QX6800 @ 3.8GHz

I'd assume the TEC cools the water, not the CPU directly...

I read a review of a system featuring that. It was HardOCP. Yes, the TEC cools the water and not the CPU directly. It's horribly inefficient, but is an all-in-one solution (one big piece).

[H]2c = hard to cool

Exactly, Dell makes POS computers, and that cooling goes in with it.
