how thick should a coldplate be? I'd imagine the thicker the better up to the point that it slows down heat transfer from the core to the pelt/hsf.
Also...i realize you should have one between the core and the cold side on your pelt...but should you also have one between the hot side of the pelt and the hsf/waterblock? If the pelt is smaller than the waterblock, wouldn't this help dissipate the heat of the pelt into the hsf?
Also..is the minimum gain in heat transfer worth the cost of silver versus copper? And what about aluminum.
Heh, this is alot for one topic, so i'll stop here :P
