Tigerhing,
My power dissipation is not all that much. I am simply cooling a mobile XP 2600. I think at stock it puts out something like 45 watts. I have cranked up the voltage quite a bit, but still it's not that much in terms of heat load, compared to what you have. I bypassed my chiller's temp controller and run it non-stop. This keeps the temp on the CPU consistent and as low as possible. I know my chiller wasn't made to run this way, but then again, neither was my CPU. And overall, it has been running great for a good 6 months. I supose one of the nice things about running it all the time is that you never hear it come on and off, so it more or less becomes consistant background noise. My unit is also fairly quiet, similar to a small house fan.
