I heard form somebody, that if you let 2mm between your coldplate and your pelt, you gain a better performance ( 4°C better according to him :) )

i have a couple of remaks :)
is that messing that i see ur as coldplates? doesn't that a bad heat conducter?
why are u using three coldplates? isn't one enough?
i think that you placed you pelt wrong (cfr jpg20008), i think u have 2 turn it around.

pelt was on for the picture (80w model that smoked my 1,2Ghz)
it's copper allright, but it had been laying for several years in my fathers factory, where the dust is sometimes 3cm or more :) so it's totaly oxidated.
I'm using ( for now) an alu waterblock, so if the heat can spread through the copper of the second coldplate; the wb has a larger surface.
