Well, it is a TEC, so it's bound to have at least decent performance.

Lets also add that its bound to generate a ton of heat as well.

Does the good outweigh the bad?

sometimes, depends on alot of other factors.....case size, air flow, layout and wiring, overclocking, etc.

The Chilltec takes up a lot of room, something that will probably cause a lot of problems with larger chipset coolers found on newer motherboards.

That thing is colossal. Review I just read says its not much better then the TT V-1, and this monster costs...150? If I were spending that much, I'd go water.

I'd have to agree. If you're already throwing down 150 bones, you might as well build your own single loop W/C setup. Here's a good guide if you're interested.

Yes, the dam thing is huge. I'm going to be using the Antec 900 case, me likes good air flow.

I'm not going to use liquid cooling, as the rads only cool to ambient room temps. I can do that on regular air. And I don't feel like hooking an old frig compressor and evap up to cool the rig.
