Thanks for the insight Rich,

I think you have convinced me this is an effort in futility.

I will have to rethink my stratagy.

Ultimently this is really being planned out as an SB-e or Haswell build, Ivy is just what I had in the rack and with it being a heat monger thought it would be a good test bed

But from what you said about the power usage has me thinking as my grinnder basicall never gets turned off ...........

dude, I would love for you to play with TEC more and school us all in how it can be, there are just certain reasons why it never made mainstream and it was not condensation.

No reason not to slap that boreas on an A6 AMD APU and clock it up to 5.5 GHz drop in a single SSD and run CPU and IGP at ambient temps as far as I can tell.. And run your awesome X79 as an awesome x79... (just pretend you are powering an socket 2011 setup

)

No tec= quad rad for CPU alone I did on i7 1366, just the rad.. no LN2 no nothing and pushed the board limits 24/7. my setup never ran not 220+ out the windows for 240 atempts

same setup released two screws and BRRR

TBH I am just upset you spent the money on the boreas. no matter what you got it for. It upsets me.

O well, it does do better than water alone based on my testing.

So it does have some value and with wattages coming down so I believe one day viable solution again.

I think for now I will side line it and move in an overkill ambient water solution.

I have a big case so I can fit an untold amont of crap in there,

Thansk for all your help and insight Rich

Had some time this morning and installed rads, fans, resivors & pumps on the front side of the build. Odered a 250 mm res tube so if my metric conversion was correct will bring it uo the the exact same hieght as the left one, also grabbed some fill ports and multi link adapters to pipe straight out of the top using solid 13 mm arcrilic tubing found in New Jersey, being multi link is for 12mm tubing it will be a tight fit, but think it is doable, may need to grab some Orings that are a touch thinner , if not can use some simple compresion adapters
