i want to use a peltier to cool my GF3
got my W-block and pelt 68W today

problem when I mesured the block : 35x38mm
pelt is 40x40mm

this would leave 2x(2.5x38) + 2x(35x1)=
190+70=260mm2 uncooled
is the best thing to use a cold plate and hot plate or can i leave it like it is??

Probably best to use a hot plate.

Whats a hot plate? What are they generally used for? I already know what a cold plate is. Thanks!

hot plate is like a cold plate but for the hot side, you rarely need them as the hsf / waterblock is usually bigger than the tec.
