As far as the water chiller thingy goes, here's why it didn't work as expected. When water passes over a hot thing, such as a cpu, and removes all the heat energy from it, it doesn't actually raise in temperature very much. The reason for this is that water can absorb VERY large amounts of heat before raising in temperature, when comapred to other substances. This is why, even though the water is having large amounts of heat energy removed from it by the chilling unit, it doesn't change very much in temperature.
