well, to give you an idea how things work. you are cooling a larger heat mass if you have a larger cold plate. this can be your friend or your enemy. When I was running my tualatin with pelts I had lower valleys in the temps with a thin cold plate, but the temps were less stable. When I moved to a thicker cold plate the temps were slightly higher than before but significantly more stable.

1/4" is fine. I use 1/4" coldplates with 30-40mm pelts and 9/16" thick for 48mm+ pelts.
