What is the work involved in changing the sSwiftech MCW6500-T-775 standard tec to a 437W Qmax Peltier?
If someone has a how to guide that would be awesome too!

Its not possible.
The standard TEC is 50x50mm and the 437watt are bigger 62x62mm

Thanks, I guess I didn't even think about dimensions. I am glad I know as it's cheaper to buy the right one than replace the wrong one lol.
A little off topic but I'm thinking of getting and watercooling a Apevia X-Qpack2 micro atx case. Thread for it to follow in watercooling section tomorrow when I'm more awake.

IMHO it wouldn't be worth the trouble. Where are you going to put a rad? The only place to put a rad would be a single 120 rad and that will not work very well for most chips now days. Like I said IMHO

Watch for my new thread in watercooling, it'll make sense then :) Not going to explain in the TEC section :D

YEah, you definitely do not want to go above 50mm (in most cases)
