Peltier, AM3, How To Attach????

Well I have a Asus Crosshair II Formula motherboard with a AMD Phenom II x4 955 black edition, with a THOR'S HAMMER HDT-S126384 CPU Cooler. the cooler has 2 133cfm fans attached to it, and i would like to keep the current heatsink, i have already ordered a 400watt peltier measuring at 50mmx50mmx3mm, i have also ordered the copper cold plate and thermal paste and plenty of fans to cool the case. i already know about waterproofing the motherboard, i just need help with figuring out how to actually attach this peltier between this heatsink and the cpu. as far as i can figure it probally won't fit in there as is and i don't know how i am supposed to so can you please help.

Heres a link to the heatsinks page, http://www.xigmatek.com/product/air-thorshammers126384.php

It should fit into the standard AM3 cooling mechanism. I don't know what it is, I'm guessing push pins but a peltier might require taking the motherboard out and screwing on the peltier heatsink. You'll also need to drill holes in the case for a power cable. To be honest I would have picked water cooling because of it's effectiveness.
Good luck anyway
