dude, I would love for you to play with TEC more and school us all in how it can be, there are just certain reasons why it never made mainstream and it was not condensation.
No reason not to slap that boreas on an A6 AMD APU and clock it up to 5.5 GHz drop in a single SSD and run CPU and IGP at ambient temps as far as I can tell.. And run your awesome X79 as an awesome x79... (just pretend you are powering an socket 2011 setup
)
No tec= quad rad for CPU alone I did on i7 1366, just the rad.. no LN2 no nothing and pushed the board limits 24/7. my setup never ran not 220+ out the windows for 240 atempts
same setup released two screws and BRRR
TBH I am just upset you spent the money on the boreas. no matter what you got it for. It upsets me.
