All that setup will do is add ~50W of heat to the water.

Remember, whatever current x voltage (= watts) is drawn by the TEC gets spit out the hot side as heat.

The water may cool by 0.1C as it passes the cold side, but the extra 50W of heat being dumped out the hot side will probably cause the water to rise by 2-3C for an average decent radiator setup, with the net result of the CPU being a few degrees warmer.
