Most likely a under powerd Radiator. I am not sure about the clamping pressure because if it was to loose it wouldn't be raising the water temp so much.

Yes you are right, the radiator cannot handle the heatload. However don't forget the importance of applying the correct ammount of pressure to the TEC.

Quoted directly from this link on one of the largest TEC distrobutors in the world: "...The recommended compression for a TE assembly is 150 to 300 pounds per square inch of module surface area..." AMD states app. 20psi on an Athlon, obivously these figures aren't even close. Yes a lot of heat will be transfered but the TEC will not behave like it would with the correct pressure.

An yes that Z4 block is rather small for a pelt. Someone is sending me one to test (not with a pelt thought) so I will see it for myself and post my review of it in the forum when I get done.
I think they pretty much covered it. People should really look this stuff up for themselfs before they piss a way all that money by word of a businessman. Most people have to learn the hard way though.

You are totally right there, OCH and a few other are notorious for this kind of crap. It's too bad when someone spends so much money on such a poor system then thinks they have "the best" only to soon realize they were scammed. It stinks, but it's how these buisnesses work.
