"you'd see a loaded CPU temp near ambient"
"with water temps near dewpoint for a typical climate controlled home"
all depends on the rads (hot side cooling)
both probably a bit (~10°C) below ambient if the rads are effective and the cold side lines short and well insulated
I was at 21°C with a coolant temp of 35°C and an actual load of 80W, and NO insulation
- since NO (present) cpu is putting 80W into the wb, expect your temps to be lower if you power the TECs at 12V
Vmax on the TECs is 15.4V, should be ok at 13.5 (87%)
more efficient at 12V though
