Alright, I have a new idea. How about using a small (both physically small and small power-wise) peltier and mount it in the middle between the coldplate and the waterblock but also place a rim of copper shim (that is the same thickness as the peltier) around the peltier?
This way, the heat produced by the cpu will still have an avenue to conduct to the waterblock (through the copper spacer around the peltier) and the peltier will provide additional cooling to the cpu core. If you do it just right, I think you can set it up so that the temperature is just above ambient. The whole point of this is to provide additional cooling to the watercooled setup but don't have to worry about condensation issues.
Waddaya guys think?
