It should work as long as the cooling is sufficient and you can power it.

its thinner than you really want, 3/8" - 1/2" is "best"...(9.525mm - 12.7mm) you will get higher temps with a 5mm coldplate but i dont know how much higher.
this is a bit old, but might help:

It should work alright though.
DangerDen sells coldplates, I don't know about mounting for your card/cooler though, could be tricky to get it to fit cleanly with a heatsink.
About the aircooling, what do you plan to use to cool the peltier hotside? I would guess that anything less than a copper CPU heatsink will be inadequate to get you near-ambient temperatures; inadequate cooling on the hotside will lead to temperatures little better than good straight air-cooling, this is something to keep in mind when you buy your parts.

this is .5" x 2" copper stock. Enter a custom cut of 2" and the price is $5.34. Alot of people on the forums seem to use onlinemetals, but I don't deal with them because I can get it cheaper, and they won't tell you the shipping price up front.

This is the guy I deal with. I heard about him on the forums, and I have dealt with him twice with no problems. For my projects, he was about half the price of onlinemetals. Just tell him what you want and he'll give you a price.

The DD cold plate that came with my Maze4 pelt kit is 9mm thick. 5mm should be fine.

It would work, but 1/2" would be ideal. According to the link Joe Camel posted, going from 1/4" to 1/2" could easily mean a degree or two, but 5mm is on the steeper part of the curve, so I wouldn't go thinner than 1/4". I used 1/4" because I had leftover stock. If I was ordering new copper I would have gotten a piece of 1/2".

If you do go with .5 I would get aluminum rather than the copper. Its just to heavy for the vid card, and yes this is from experience

If 1/2" is too heavy, then use thinner copper, do not use aluminum, you'd be worse off.

how are you going to clamp it to heatsink remember it has to be compress to work right.

im going to buy some Long screws and bolts and drill holes on the heatsink that will be cooling the pelt, and ocouse I will use the proper materials for preventing condenstion, although I dont think I will have problems with it but better save than sorry.
