i looked into thermoelectric cooling lately and i had some new ideas about combining a tec with a water cooling unit.. i dont know if anyone has ever tried to basicly give the water cooler a boost by using the tec just before the cpu water block. id be using a corsair h70. the idea is that water exiting the cpu area could first dump exess heat through the radiator then to the tec for extra cooling. the tec i would use would be able to pump out more heat then my processor at idle but not quite keep up at full load hence the radiator. i also think i would add 2 small reservoirs to hold the extra chilled water that would theroeticly build up after a while at idle.i also have some images of basicly the design of the loop for those who would be better off seeing what i mean. i was hoping since its not a really powerfull tec i could get away with air cooling its hot side maybe with a decent heatsink fan combo but thats the one part im really worried about. more or less im just looking for opnions ideas or any knowlege thats going to help me doing this
EDIT. since ive learned it would be better to have only one res and it be right before the pump.
