peltier?

If you stack tecs it will end terribly badly, for the reasons above. If one removes 100W and throws out 200W in total, the next in the stack would have to be able to comfortably remove 200W and these don't exist. All you'd do is kill your peltiers if you stacked them.

Jokesters approach is the historical one, back when cpus threw out small enough amounts of heat that peltiers could cope with it. Now reasonable (geometrically) sized pelts are far underpowered to cope with a significant overclock on a processor, so several in heat exchanger fashion is the way to go. This has issues as well of course, namely that I seem to need an extra quad radiator and a psu which doesn't flinch at 57A @12V constant draw.

Nb/sb peltier is a ridiculous notion in most senses, what makes you think that's a good idea?

Eventually I intend to have phase (very long run) so my motherboard will already be insulated and to hopefully allow me to get some pretty high o/cs :)
 
WeeScott had a lot of success with a room temperature (20C) aquarium chiller. It actually makes a huge amount of sense to chill the water but not to the extent that condensation becomes a problem. Plus one good water chiller can handle multiple loops or even multiple rigs.
 
I built a TEC chiller recently, see here (different username on that forum;))

It uses 2 high power (437watt) peltiers but running at around 6 volts max each to optimise CoP

Now I have an i7 920 and it keeps that at around 50 degC at 4.2 Ghz under full load (LinX etc) :)

Pity my motherboard has a BCLK wall at 215:( Its not the CPU, that went all the way to 224 on an EVGA board I tried it in

yeah i had been looking into the hailea chillers - i was thinking about using one in a GPU loop. The guy i was talking to (can't say website name because of forum rules) and he suggested I had it in a loop and didn't use it on its own.
