Would this be a total waste of time? pro/cons, would it help at all? I could fabricate a stainless steel resoviour at work, and then acctach a TCE underneath, cooling the fluid in the res, mabey not below Zero as that would freeze the water ect.. but say 5-10*C would there be anything wrong with this? as it would be easier on my part than trying to mod a block for one, just an idea, dont shoot me down too bad if its stupid

i tried this, you will get 1c off, from a naked core...... not really worth the effort...
but it never hurts to experiment though........

I've tried it as well using two waterblocks. One was in the main loop while the other got a dedicated cooling loop. The TEC was sandwiched between them.

A TEC moving 90w only gave me 1-3C temp drop.

gee thats gay, youd think chilled water would help!

DuckieHo

It does. It just takes a lot of power to chill water.

Put a bucket of water in a fridge and time how long it takes to freeze. Now put a bucket of water in a fridge with a 200w heat source then see what happens.
