That C/W 0.25 is probably very high for reasonable watercooling of the TEC hotside. The TEC has so much more surface area than a CPU that something like 0.1 or less would be more accurate.

On the other hand, peltcalc doesn't take into account the heat being pulled from other places. (e.g. mobo) So it's temperatures are going to be overly optimistic in that regard.
