OK so with the radiator out of the loop i can get the temps down to about 18 degrees with the computer off. With the computer on I am getting a pitiful 45 degrees C. at idle. I must be doing something wrong. Like I said before, with the pump off the cooler drops the temp substantially down to around 8 degrees C. As soon As I turn on the pump it goes to about 18 or 19. I have a pump that is self contained in a reservoir. I supose this could be a problem as it is adding heat to the system. Right now I run from the pump to the cooler to the waterblock. (maze 4). I supose I am using about 5 feet of vinyl tubing. I supose I could try taking the pump out of the reservoir. I am starting to have doubts as to this TEC chiller. May have to hawk it on ebay for one with a compressor. Any input apreciated.
