The performance seems very good even as it is. Would work great with a peltier to freeze things up a bit, for extreme overclocking.
How about a peltier on the condenser instead? increase the rate of condensation ?

Idle speculation here as I do not know just some thoughts


they report the large die C/W as being .12 C/W overall

assume the the syphon condenser is comparable to an equivalent water radiator, maybe .08C/W?

Ok, that leaves ..04 C/W Boiler and TIM.

Take away .02 C/W on the TIM That leaves .02 for the boiler? Not bad

double the boiler performance to .01 C/W takes you to an overall of .11

double the condenser performance .04 C/W and you are at .08C/W overall

flip the ratios if you want, as with water cooling you are on a pretty rareified edge.

Big changes sometime make little differences, little changes can make big differences
