Arctice Silver Epoxy & Peltier Question

[melteye]

would it be smart to use arctic silver epoxy on my coldplate and peltier? or would performance decrease (alot?)

*i read the max temp is 150F... doesnt the pelts hot side get above that? (156Watt pelt)

Well you should keep yer pelt cooler then 150. If the pelt has no cooling it will get well over that.

why use the epoxy instead of the paste??
