    ok thanks man.

    a few more....

    is it ok to undervolt/underpower a TEC?

    can i cool the TEC with a regular waterblock?

    COMPLEX QUESTION...

    i have noticed that when i reach the cooling threshold of the TEC that temperatures quickly climb back to high temps. i had my e8600 @ 5ghz and during benching the chip went from 12c all the way to 87c causing the benchmark to crash. i was only using 1.4125v on the CPU. is this because the TEC is underpowered or has it reached its maximum cooling point? the PSU im using is an antec that is 450watts with 20amps on the 12v rail. i know thats not enough now from what was told to me earlier.


    EDIT: the model of my TEC is Thermal Enterprises CP1-12726
