Yes it would but in the event of a failure:
pelt=the cpu would burn up and maybe the mobo would also be damaged
(pelt)ps= the cpu would burn up
pump= the pelt would die and then take out the cpu and maybe the mobo
this way I have two pelts in the even that one fails, I have water within the waterblock if the pump or (pelt)ps die. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I would have needed to add a powerful ps to my case which would have added a little heat and some noise, this way the chiller is external and while extremely quiet in operation it seems even quieter because I have it located out of ear shot.
