Please check resistance of a new peltier, and compare resistance with ohm meter on leads of failing unit. That way you don't have to disasemble HSFPelt unit.
I have had such a fadeout, a peltier from last July 2000 Leufken. It was not potted and corroded green copper oxide.
Tom Leufkens now ships epoxy potted pelts.
Only non-potted pelts in WC kits is Jeremy at www.silverprop.com He was advised, but he just started selling WC gear. He will find out in about six months.

( at silverprop don't click products, click shop - products page has only a couple of items ) He has a cool looking AMD water block.

also, are you powering the peltier with the power supply in your computer, or a stand alone unit? If you are using a separate power supply, make sure that you have a load on the +5v line or it will not work correctly.
