Dear all "extremely overclockers"::D

Here is the insulation how I get for the final thought after couple LN2.

This is the price I got from the experience about 15 intel boards died on me especially all died on condensation. So I decide to let everyone know what is the safe and easy way to do it. I can be very sure that usually you see from the "other way someone did that looks very neat " they are 90% not really safe or got bad contact. you can also have your way to do it. but I just share my experience. This way I can guarantee you won't run into trouble.

Let's rock.

First of all, you need some 3M electronic tape, tape all CPU socket area about
11x11cm square. tape it as tight as you can besides those 4 holes for the mounting threads can go through later :

If you mod the vcore setting, you gotta be very very careful for protect the solder points, don't just tape the e. tape on the area, put a non conductive material on the top then tape it so after you done for bench, you can pull the tape out and NOT destory the mod.

now, prepare a 11x11 cm sheet of closing cell insulation paper(forgot the name..damn me :hi: ) try to fit the cpu area so cut the socket and caps parts will occupy. fill in all the gaps around. and then use second layers of electronic tape to tape them good.

and don't forget to put a piece in front of atx12v area.. this is really easy to be ignored and when this area is condensed, the whole board is gone.
smell the Halloween?:hi: :naughty:

so you are getting closer, now the last step is tape some 3d mastic tapes
mastic tape is way better than cork tape from my personal perspective. it's very flexible and not that sticky. before you tape, measure you pot or evap diameter so no causing the bad contact with CPU IHS.

the very last step you gotta be aware of is this, do not let you heat pipe be condensed, I have one time forgot to do this, my very good ws pro just died on me, otherwise I can have broken the 32m WR already;)

This most likely is for those who use extremly cold such as cascade or LN2/DI overclockers. Hope this little guide is worth to save you some boards.;oplc;

great work sir, but I think it will destroy some MOBO when you remove tape (some resistor&caps)
:MMM: my labs use the foam (insulation sheet) only :eek: :eek:
