Hi
I'am about to buy a Gpu/Ram watercooler for a elsa Gforce 3 card.

I'am bit affraid of using a peltir setup due to the consendation risks.

Is it better to use a waterchiller to cool the water (less risky) instead of using a peltier on the GPU.

well if you do some research and insulate properly against condensation then you wont have a thing to worry about.

if you do make a water chiler and it works better than you anticipated, then you might have to insulate all the tubes, waterblock and everthing cuz that might have condensation problems... which might be more than what your lookin for

You'll have the same problems (and more) with a water chiller. Plus you'll have worce results.
On second thoughts were you just going to pelt the gpu or the gpu and ram. If just the gpu then you'd get better ram overclocking with the watercolling but worce gpu overclocking.

A water chiller will bring you the same, if not more, condensation issues that a standard peltier would. Think of the condensation that could form on the CPU/mobo from a peltier setup. Now think of that all over the waterblock, hose, radiator, pump, etc...
