ok so im considering building a water chiller for my current loop basically it would consist of a radiator 240mm or 360mm cooling the TECs and a custom pair of blocks to run the water through. The water chiller would be a stand alone enclosed unit that would connect to my existing system.
What i would like to do is use my current 360mm radiator to pre cool the water going into the chiller and have it go directly from the chiller to my cpu block
so it would go
rez-pump- rad- chiller-cpu rez
so here are my questions
Q1- would this even be efficient enough to warrant the cost of building it or would it not chill the water enough to get the temps im looking for
Q2- assuming it will work what size TECs would you recommend I want to chill my rediclously hot FX 8120 8 core at high voltages nothing ridiculous but well over my watercooling loop
Q3- How thick should the blocks be to maximize the transfer of heat I will be custom making the blocks out of copper with acrillic tops
Q4- would the spare FSP 500w ive got be enough to power the whole set up
