you would only be dumping heat onto the cpu if the water was warmer than the cpu.

a radiator would hurt performance as soon as your water temps drop below ambient.

he said the water was frozen solid and i'd wager frozen solid is below cathars ambient temps.

edit:
also to answer your question the cold side doesn't really have a function when you're only using one pelt, you're probably much better off with the pelt on a coldplate, on the cpu.

but if you have a bunch of pelts i guess the idea is you can get the water temp lower maybe?

it sounds to me like by the time you got it working you'd be using up so much electricity you'd save money by just buying faster cpus as soon as they come out.
