Check out my Rig:
Case: Cooler Master HAF-932
PSU: Corsair AX1200
CPU: i7 970 OC'd to 4.333 Ghz @ 1.46v
Mobo: eVGA X58 SLI FTW3
RAM: 12GB Dominator GT 2000 MHz
VGA: 2x eVGA GTX 570 SC
Cooling: Modified Boreas TEC cooler, dual loop. EK CPU Water block, EK Motherboard block, EK GPU water block with an SLI water bridge.
Loop 1 (Hot Loop): Cooling hot side of 12 TEC's via 1x Phobya 240x240mm rad, 1x Phobya 240mm rad, 1x Black Ice GT 240mm rad, 1x Koolance 120mm rad.
Loop 2 (Cold Loop): Cooling 2x eVGA GTX 570's, CPU and motherboard.
Idle temps: (Hot) 28C (Cold) 14C
Load temps: (Hot) 36C (Cold) 28C
So what I've done is taken a Boreas TEC cooler from Coolit Systems and modified it a bit. I bought 4 extra water blocks from them and decided to cool the hot side of the TEC's to further reduce the cold side water temps. I have a Koolance RP-452X2 Dual 5.25" Reservoir with 2 pumps in it, one for each of the loops. For the hot loop, water goes from my res/pump to the TEC's then to the rad mounted on top part of the case, then out the back to the rad mounted on the rear 120mm fan spot. From there it goes back into the case and right back out to the Phobya 240mm by 240mm rad which only fits outside the case and back into the case to the final 120mm rad and back to the res. The cold loop goes from the res/pump to the cold TEC blocks and to the cpu, then mobo block and finally the video cards and back to the res. Im using quick disconnects because it makes it a hell of a lot easier when installing the side rad as well as for bleeding the air and changing the water. I have 2 inline water temp probes, one for each loop so I can monitor the water temps.
What do you all think? Im also open to suggestions if you think adding/removing something would improve temps or efficiency. I'd love to hear what you all think, both good and bad.
