point being that at 1000mw you do not need a tec. i am making a scanner and passive cooling will be more than adequate.
BUT i understand this is how you want it. so good luck.

Where does the aixiz module temperature settle down at those currents?
about 40 deg F on cpu fan

40F? Below room temperature? Did you mean Celcius? 40C is the normal operating temperature for those diodes anyway.

40F is very possible with a TEC, I don't see it with the TEC only pulling 1.6A though...

It could be that his heatsink is already sufficient, and he's not sure exactly what constitutes reasonable heat conditions.

Its a design choice really.
Most people opt to use TEC to keep the diode at or slightly below room temperature... but it could be used to cool a diode far below if you take precautions against condensation/frost and such.
