So many things I WANT to post, but emotions aside, please carefully read the following:
I am very well versed in the way of the peltier. Designing these blocks was a result of much research, testing and refinement.
The photo on the site was taken for illustrative purposes, so that people were able to SEE the block without it being covered in insulation. (BTW, I will get a new link for the review - it is currently down at the moment....)
Observant people, as a result of the above, could see features such as the 4 screws surrounding the peltiers, used to clamp the 1/4" cold-plate at around 150-200psi to the waterblock.
Intelligent observers would have also done two other things:
- Read through the specs for the IceBlock, and found out the above anyway (sometimes TEXT says fewer, more useful words than a picture can)
- Look at the picture - socket A mounting holes are 36mm and 66mm apart, centre to centre - you will notice the the cap screw you can see are noticeably further apart than this.
The waterblock is attached to the motherboard, in turn, from the rear of the motherboard, via 4 studs attached to the rear of the coldplate (see attached photo)
My main point of this -
ask questions - all your gems of wisdom had been carefully thought out many months ago - if you had taken the time to ask instead of assume (which makes and ass otu of u and me
), we coulda saved a few posts
From my end, I will add some more pics, and clarify the attached description somewhat, to prevent this confusion in future.
Cheers.
