For those with a larger TEC.... how do you mount it? Apogees and Stingers are 50x50mm but the 437w TEC is larger than that. Do you use a copper plate on both sides of the peltier to distribute the cold/heat?

Again, the 437w TEC is 67x67mm while the waterblock is 50x50mm. That means there will be about an 8mm overhang. This part of the TEC won't be under the waterblock and won't be cooled. I don't think this is safe since it still will be moving heat.

Is the coverage area 50X50, or is the whole block 50X50? If you can mill the contact area flat with the base, then you could get the extra surface area needed. I can mill it for you if need be.

Coldplates on both sides of the tec. Though the link is for 40x40mm plates, youll need plates the size of the TEC.

It'd be doable, but you'd have a rough time with heat transfer...coldplates on both sides inhibits heat transfer...But it would beat not having one.

Both the Stinger and Apogee state the bases are 50x50mm. It measured it the best I could (Apogee is already mounted) and that seems right. What do you mean by "mill the contact area flat with the base"? How can the base be expanded? Coldplate sandwich is an idea but seems inefficent along the edges. I know some have 437w pelts, how are they installed?

Well, it depends on how they define "base". If it's the raised portion that contacts the CPU, then you could mill the raised portion off, flat with the rest of the base. If it's the block's dimensions overall, then you're screwed and would have to go with a sandwich

just buy a small peice of copper sheet , i did off ebay 5mm thick 100mmx100mm and cut yaself bits out of it if you have the tools

off topic, but why do you need the cold plate?
