I think i borked my pelt. HELP

[WesM63]

Hey guys,
Someone help me confirm this. I set up my w/c system to see how cold she'd get with the pelt in their, only runnin 12V@4A. Shitty..yes. Well i got it goin, let her run for about 30 sec. before i figured out I had it bass ackwords. The hot side was against the coldplate. So I shut it down, switched it around and then it would'nt turn back on. Just to make sure i did'nt kill the PSU I hooked up my fans that are on my rad. They work.

I think i broke it cause when i tightened it down it kinda cracked, but I was goin really slow, and it was just snug, I dunno if that did it or not.

Any help?

NOTE: This is not hooked to my cpu, just settin on my desk.

Mmmm...bummer. Those pelts are indeed fragile. I'm sure your not the first person to do that. Live and learn I suppose.

Hey guys,
Yeah its a bummer but I don't have everything I need to install it yet so its ok.


Mr Gung-Fu,
Don't put any pressure on it. ;) No p0 says it only takes 3lbs of tourqe to be tight. Look at the pelt and if it looks close and you can't move it, it's tight. You'll hear it "crack" otherwise.
