Yep Lewis, I think the problem is the fan direction.

I use a stock CPU cooler which blows ONTO the heatsink surface and the heat flows out through the sides and away from the peltier.

My CPU cooler / fan combo has a copper heatsink plate with an aluminium fin design with the fan PUSHING air onto the fins and plate towards the cooler box.

Also, I am using a Jaycar $14.95 48W peltier and it hasnt missed a beat so far.

Good luck, have you tried stacking two peltiers? Apparently this can work even better than one......apparently, but it would suck a lot of current....

Cheers

Chris
