Ok, I got everything I need for a new pelt setup. Now it's time to start operating.

The setup includes the following...

• Maze4-1 CPU waterblock: (dangerden)
• 320W (50mmx50mm) Peltier: (15V max, 26A max, potted) (ebay)
• Meanwell 480-15: (480W, 13.5-18V, 35A)(trcelectronics)
• Power relay: (bestbyteinc)
• Full Insulation Kit for Maze4-1: (includes neoprene pads, conformal coating, and thermal grease) (dangerden)
• 5.25” bay triple fan cooler: for cooling the Meanwell power supply (ebay)
• Power chord, 12 gauge wire, connectors, & rubber stand-offs: Lowe's hardware

I'll keep posting more pics as progress comes along. . . .

The only thing I'm sorta of wondering about right now is how to know the amount of torque to use when screwing the cold plate onto the block with the pelt in between. I read that there should be 200-300 lbs per square inch. But I can't find a torque wrench that will fit the holes of the Maze4. Also, how would I compare the amount of torque from a torque wrench to the lbs per square inch on the cold plate? (Just add up the torque on each screw and divide by the area of the plate?)
