I'd estimate its C/W at around 0.35 if you're running that 70mm fan full bore.

even that be the case bud, i should still see some cooling effect over 1 or 2 liters of liquid, as the unit would onlybe buggern with ambient temped water anyways.
i could understand that it'd be come a heater using something like a 170wat pelt. because i wouldn't be able to tame the hot side. but most stock hsf's should be able to take care of an 80-60watt pelt.
if they can't do that. what business do they have being on a proc?
