Its all good.
I understand what your trying to do if your coming from a phase change type chiller, a little backwards maybe as the copper coils would be used as the evaperator and the reservoir would be used to buffer the temperature dt...
From what I can see your loaded temps aren't but a few degrees better than a good custom water loop.
2 of my chillers will cool a loaded ivy bridge much better than your design, with half the wattage used.
I've bitten my tongue with...

Depends on what kind of dt your looking for. 4 chillers would do...
