I haven't really read all the posts....so if this is a repost, just smack me over the head.

It is likely they shipped yo ua 120w pelt. I've seen it done before.

One thing you need to take note of is clamping pressure. The coldplate is there for more than just heat dissapation. You need some REALLY tight clamping pressure on the pelt. The more clamping pressure = the more amperage draw = more cooling power. Just something to think of.

I used to pelt with a 172w pelt and a 1G AXIA Tbird. -12*C idle temps. Sucker would run 1.5G easy. 1.6G wasn't as easy to come buy.
