When a pelt setup is utilized directly on the die, the the heat goes from die-tim-coldplate-tim-pelt-tim-wbbp-water.

In waterchillers the heat is located in the water and goes water-through block interior geometry surface area-tim-pelt-tim-wbbp-water.

In all the former shitty attempts I have seen, heatsinkfans were used in an attempt to remove heat from the hotside pelt.

There is one less tim per the two heat exit paths(each side of the chiller) compared to direct die pelt usage which is good. Water is being asked to give up its heat instead of a solid material of much more highly concentrated heat. Water is better at absorbing heat energy than giving it up.

The fin arrangement is equivalent to expanding the heat exchanger size.
Slowing the flowrate of the heatsource (water) would be equivalent to expanding the heat exchanger size would it not? Also slowing the flowrate concentrates more heat per unit of water.

Just some observations, nothing new just didn't see them spelled out for those scratching their heads.

Bill why did you pull the pics, didn't get to see em, darn.

This has turned into an unexpected highly interesting thread.
