From what I understand, QE of a CCD starts to decrease at lower temperatures - not sure about specific numerical values though. There must be a point where further lowering the temperature of a CCD becomes impractical and it starts causing more potential issues (condensation, increased power consumption, longevity etc) that outweigh benefits when astroimaging.
