For some reason my chip just likes to run really really hot. 71C load with a Feser triple 120mm radiator. I thought my pump might of been dying but my 5970 load temps around right around 45-47C which is normal.
I currently have everything you see listed in my sig. From the research I've done so far it seems like the high end PSU's can directly power the TEC. I was hoping to do just that. Have the end of the TEC just go right into a molex connector with nothing else on that rail.
Anyway the CPU waterblock I'm using is the HEATKILLER 3.0. I was curious how I go about hooking everything up and how will I know if I need insulation? I was looking at this peltier from Danger Den.

Not sure if it's overkill for my CPU.
Also these need cold plates correct? So it would go waterblock>coldplate>TEC>CPU?
Thanks!
BTW here is a pic of my current setup. Note that I'm only using a single 5970 now. Sold the other one.
