Peltier losing power

[Chrisramseyer]

I have a peltier that is 122 watts and it use to cool my cpu below freezing and now it is + 22 . I have no idea what is going on. I took it off three weeks ago becouse of condensation and now it will not even cool that much. Any ideas, and yes:

I have cleaned they system,
have water,
have a radiator,
cleaned the peltier,water block and copper cold thing,
taken the dogs out and got the milk...
oh that is a different list.

A shot in the dark: A damaged pelt or incorrectly attached water block. Or how about a air pocket in your lines. Actually I'm pretty clueless here":O{

A Peltier array is made up of many junctions- perhaps a voltage spike or something took out some of the junctions.
