If I use TEC waterblock for the CPU

[scottchen]

Okay, watercooling experts, need your help. If I buy a Peltier waterblock for my CPU, then the rest of the chain, Video card/chipset, would they be screwed? Since after the water pass through the TEC waterblock would be boiling hot?

No experience here but couldn't your divert plumbing to the video card and chipset ahead of the CPU.

You've got your main line coming from the radiator (cooled water). You "T" to the GPU and then "T" to the northbridge/chipset. The main line continues on to the CPU. Finally, your GPU and chipset lines "T" back into the main line (past the CPU) and all the water goes back to your radiator through that main line.

bad idea with peltiers...they really heat up your water...

You could cool the gpu and chipset before the peltier...but you will get significantly higher hot plate temps. Also i would not recomend w/cing your chipset...its just stupid to do...you can get pretty damn close to those temps on good chipset air cooling.

If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a processor

Ok P3man i'll take your word for it, I'm currently using a full copper Vantec Iceberq 4 for chipset cooling. the copper never gets hot, so I guess the n.bridge chipset is freezing.
