Ok Im thinking of adding a peltier to my system. So far i know i have to have another mean well S-320-12, a 226W peltier, a cold plate, neoprene, dialectic grease, and some silicon.

The questions i have are how thick do i need the neoprene to be for th back and front insulation? How exactly would i attach the peltier to my spiral block? I know you have to have a coldplate seperating the pelt from the core but im still unclear on how it actually all attaches. Thanks!
 
the normal setup for peltiers is core - cold plate - peltier - waterblock. depending on the mounting mechanism for your waterblock, you might need longer bolts to compensate for the added thickness of the peltier and coldplate.

i think 1/4 inch neoprene would be enough for the back of the mobo, but dont quote me on that. here is a good thread. towards the bottom, colin posts some good links about installing peltiers. good luck.
