I don't think it is a good idea to use a 62mm tec on the video card because you will end up freezing it. I would say make a 62mm water block for the cpu with custom hold down and cold plate. Then use the 226w one on your video.

I don't recommend using a maze4 on any tec that is over 226W. The maze4 design is not that great for tec cooling.

I would recommend looking for a fuzion water block. even though it is still only 50x50
I'm pretty sure I can mount the Swiftech block on the Radeon and will do if it's not enough for the Q6600 (which I picked up today after it was dumped in an alleyway and handed into a local police station). I'll do it using the mounting plate I pulled off the Radeon during it's destruction.

Anyway, my E4300 has been idling as low as 5C and temps on the GPU have been improved simply by pointing two 80mm fans at the radiator, they're keeping the water below 40C under load. When I dig out my pair of Sunon monsters (don't know where I hid them) this should improve further. On a slight downer (and against littleowl's advice) I have been running the Peltier off a spare PCI-E lead, the only problem that's cropped up is that the insulation on the wires near the terminal block and the terminal block's insulation has melted a bit so I may have to get a ceramic cased terminal block and use four wires rather than two. No power issues so far though so it looks viable for now.
