Introduction
We have looked at several waterblocks in our days but today we will add something more extreme to our testing. We got a sample of Dangerdens Maze4 Gpu-1 waterblock which has a perltier included. Most of us know that if you connect a plet wrong you burn it and if you mount it wrong you get condensation on your card which might ruin it so this will be interesting to see how/if we get this to work 
We will see if we can get some nice overclocking stats on our Albatron FX5700.

The kit was well packed in foam in a bigger box and this is what we found in it. A bag with plet and mounting accessories and a box with the block itself. The right picture shows the neoprene kit which prevents condensation from spreading on the card.

Here we can see the 80W peltier whichwas included in the kit. You can get the block in black or purple but DD sent me a purple one. Color doesn’t really matter as it’s hidden anyways when the card is mounted.

The block overall is very high quality and these chrome fittings give it a nice look also. The coldplate seen on the right is pretty thick and you mount the peltier between the coldplate and the GPU block.

These instructions are just how I did the installation procedure. I read some instructions from the Dangerden site so it’s up to you if you follow these. Remove the coldplate from the block to prepare the peltier installation. Cut up the thin neoprene pad so it fits around the core.
