If you're doing a full card water block, just do eraser.  Then insulate the outside of the waterblock with foam/armaflex, and the back of the card with shop towel and layer of amaflex.
 
Depending on how cold you go, and humidity levels, you can just get away with shop towels on the outside all the way around(0c).  Eraser is a must though, either way.

a 10 pound pot are you..new design from the last one you made?

Yes & no.  Very board specific.

@ Nate thanks bud  means a lot coming from you  I would strip it down but I've already got the armaflex on and don't want to waste it.
 
@ Q I was going to ask about the GPU prep but you got me covered . I'm using nail polish out to the ram and going to use molding clay how far out should I go with that??? Should the ram be alright if I cover it with the gasket and would you mind post some pics of the back of your card prepped? Also I would try my 260 but i use this for my gaming rig so I'll be taking baby-steps.
 
@ Halo Thanks for the kind words . I use the cut down versions of XP, Vista and Full version of W7 all partitioned on the same drive. Vista help my p55 setup in 3D05 with high clocks both for the CPU and GPU. Xp is great for 01-06, If your going to use one drive you'll need to whip it clean and partition it I'd say about 12-15ghz for XP, 15ghz Vista and about 35ghz for W7 not sure about W7 tiny. I also like Xp tiny for 2D benches.

Any word about Forum Wars???

We will have the stock score thread up today.  After that, we can all start submitting our stock scores.  Just be sure to turn off turbo and speedstep for your wprime32 stock screen shot.  Otherwise your overclock percentage will be messed up.

Thanks keep us posted

Ok. Thats what I thought.  Shop towels should be all I need for now.
thanx

Okay guys the stock score thread is now open at 411.  Please submit your stock scores asap.  If anyone needs a link, send a PM because I dont know if the mods will like forum pimping :p

I posted way back, like 3 months ago or so about how I bought a phase cooler.  Well after waiting forever for fedex and then getting the SS repaired it is finally back in my hands and its working!

Mmmm, nice. What cpu, and what kind of temps are on the cpu? I assume that -36 is the evap head.

Running my 970 around 5ghz at that point. I have no idea on the temps because my bios reports the CPU as running 240c and windows reports it as -16c constantly.  And yes the -36c is the probe on the evap.

Don't think I have ever seen a catastrophic failure before.  *knock on wood*

 
I haven't when running it, but I can't install it. Might have to run it on XP pro 32

yay, my dewar is on it's way! woohoo.

nice to see you got your phase back!!
i am now tearing apart mine and giving it a needed upgrade. hopefully it will be partially done by the end of the week.

Curious If I could get in on this or if there were any spots open. I'm known to throw some #'s down every once in a while.

I thought you had a dewar?

what i do have is a F! gemini
brand new compressor & condenser for my phase
15 lbs recovery tank to help with changing cpu conditions. (that drew is a smart one)
heh.  Yea its been a while-since April??.  But I know it hasn't been that long for me to know I don't get that much frost all over the place.  You guys and your shop towels.  bleh!  lay on the insulation! 
oh yeah, lets see your last batch of pictures buddy..i dont believe you...lol
Speaking of lack of benching, this machine is taking up so much of my time.  It took me FOUR HOURS tonight to shim the ZX, & ZY axis planes of travel.  I wouldn't recommend building a CNC machine to ANYONE that doesn't have that kind of attention to detail.

yeah, you are a man on a mission!! i would have gotten side tracked by now :D
