Okay, I'm thinking of getting a Prometeia. If I do, I'll want some way to cool my GPU (and NB, but GPU mainly) cooler than a plain water setup. I've never used a pelt before. I was thinking of two things... Pelt on the GPU and Pelt as a water chiller... I remember seeing a post a long time ago with someone talking about using a pelt as a water-chiller, but I can't find it. Anyway, which of these would be better? And would they be worth it anyway?

Better off using TEC on the GPU... or even better, one big cold plate that covers the RAM and the GPU and allows you to TEC them all with one TEC. Cooling water with TECs is not particularly effective, unless you have a lot of TECs.

if you want to cool the ram to, you should get another tec for the ram on the back of the card. the swiftech gpu cooler with an 80W tec should be enough for cooling the gpu and the ram on the front side
