    @Chruschef: Of course i lap these block until they're flat.

    11 cm ? 6cm ?

    Each block is just over 11mm thick ... and the step is 5mm .. so total hight above components when measured from the motherborad* is 13mm


    * assuming the top of the CPU is 8mm from the motherboard

    im making a better block than what's pictured right this second if you'd like one

    Each OCZ block measures 5.5cm, so the hot plate's lenght is about 12 cm, width is ~6 cm. Thanks for your pictures

    What are you trying to cool ?

    cos 6cm is to small to fit a 62mm TEC and 12cm is very long for one TEC but far to small for 2 TEC's?

    A quick update

    As you can tell, we have run into a snag with our TEC vendor. The initial TEC I chose wasn't giving me satisfaction, so I spec'd another unit that can run at close to max efficiency on a 12v PSU. Problem is I am still waiting for the sample module...don't laugh! since this isn't a top priority, I haven't bugged my vendor on a daily basis as I usually do, and he slacked off. I'm back on it now, and hopefully should get the module soon so I can resume testing.

    Sorry for the delay, and not posting updates. It's been quite busy around here lately!
