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 thumb.gif

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 smile.gif. 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.
