I wasn't talking about 4 screws of the 2.2 that clamps the cold plate, I was talking about the 4 bolts on the cold plate that runs thru the board for mounting the thing onto the CPU. You don't need mega pressure on the CPU.
4 screws should give enough clamping force on the peltiers, although I use 6 on mine. And why the strong intention to use two seperate blocks if you're using 2 40mms? One good block should perform just as well.
Anyways, I ripped apart a pelt just for you




Many of these small metal pieces inside that do not seem to be connected to each other. If you drill through, you'll probably hit only one or two of these if you're careful. Just be sure to clear the fragments out before you use them. Although I still don't think drilling through peltiers is such a good idea...
But try not to open up a peltier, because its almost impossible not to spoil it in the process.
