I was thinking that running the peltier would cool the water enough to get it below ambient temperatures.

If you look even closer, the pelt would only pull heat out of the coolant, then put it right back, and then some!
the second heater core wouldn't be efficient enough to draw out the heat the peltier generated?

I know it goes back to the standard inefficent chiller. I just thought the advantage was having it turn on only when the temperature went above a specified value. since my machine runs idle 80-90% of the time i thought it might be appropriate.
