http://www.swiftnets.com/store/prod...s.asp?ProdID=28 what is the gasket on the top for, i know the 2 below it are the TEC body gaskets and the one on ther very bottom is the motherboard gasket. The one on top is just like the TEC body gaskets exept for the fact that it is much skinnier. I am replacing my gaskets because i am switching motherboards and proccesors and they were kind of worn out. I bought new gaskets and i think i know what to do with all of them but that gasket on the top in that picture it looks just like the TEC body gasket but its thinner could you please tell me what i do with it. Also does it make a difference if i use the inside peice of that unknown gasket to put on the back of my motherboard or should i use the peice that was inside of the motherboard gasket.

Mobuis- That's the 3rd body gasket. Swiftech now uses 3 body gaskets for their TEC assemblies instead of 2.

First you install the 1/8" thin gasket, then the 226W pelt and a 3/8" thick gasket and the cold plate and finally another 3/8" thick gasket. That's it.

FYI the 3rd, thin gasket also offers extra support for the peltier's solder joints, which are very fragile.
