Ya'll are getting off-topic, with this talk about TECs.
A normalized chiller, which could keep the water temp at 20 deg C (aka ambient), and a high flow direct die cooling option would give us the lowest temperature that a waterblock could achieve, in theory. Even then, as long as there's a baseplate, the CPU temps will be ever so slightly higher.
Either way, the point is that the lowest CPU temp that can be achieved with normal cooling, is several degrees above ambient. We just don't know how many degrees that is.
What we do know is that without any cooling whatsoever, the max temp is in excess of 350 deg C, and that's an important piece of information!
