Understood, but if the pelt cools 50 off of an 80 Watt source, then the rest (30) must be cooled by something, right? And if you use a rad, the coolant temp is going to be too low for the rad to extract 30 watts from the coolant... Remember, a rad can only bring water temps down to ambient (under ultimate efficiency). The pelt can bring it down lower...
Also, if the pelt is too powerfull, then the rad actually starts raising the water temp (but it'll cool your room).
