I'm planning a revamp of my chill box build.....that's more my thing.....but your more than welcome to pop across and pick holes...lol
PS I came here originally to see how the temps on the oced 2500k compared with my build....but I guess they are still working on it as I didn't find the results yet?

You can get whatever temps you want really...its just a matter of how much money you want to spend and how much electricity you are willing to use
. TECs are pretty modular...want more cooling, add "MOAR TECS!" Arqtiks Quad TEC block for example, which runs @ 12v and draws 26amps(so it is possible to run off the system PSU if you have a big enough one) keeps a 4.8ghz Ivy Bridge at 39c full load during Prime 95.With hot chips though, using a chiller and a waterblock are more efficient then a TEC block setup...or a chiller to cool the hotside of a TEC block like I play on doing eventually.
