hope it all goes well and you can get it to work again

480's work again, but just couldn't dial it in on vantage, so I got frustrated and tried to bang out a 3d06 run.  But that proved harder than I thought and I'm almost out of LN2.
 
I don't know if any of you guys notice the # of frames at the end of each test, but I was getting for example 11,500's on 06 test 1.  Frames I've never even come close to before.  And the best part of it was the single 480 was only at 1700/2000@1.15v.  CPU was at 5.38ghz.  But a lot more finesse has to be done, and like I said, LN2 is a runnin' out.
 
Everything is real wet right now.  Cold even seeped into the ram slots, as the shop towels in the dimm slots are damp.  To say the least, I don't think I'm turning it on until everything dries out.  Till tomorrow.

Just as I thought...everything is too wet.  Shop towel gasket is soaked.
 

 
 
And doesn't look like I got a real good mount either.  A lot of blank spots on the tim.  I went with the pea size drop in the center method this time.  I'm going back to spreading it evenly with my finger next time.  That gets perfect contact everytime.
 

Looks like my DICE session in the middle of summer with 85f temps lol.
What was ambient temp? Maybe next time stuff your board with tissue paper.  Also I've heard of people baking boards in the oven @ 100f sure to dry them out, not sure I'd try it lol. Perhaps better contact with the cpu will help with overall OC.

Temps weren't bad today (70F), but humidity was 55% after all that rain yesterday.  2 weeks ago humidity levels were 40% and I got less overall moisture w/ LN2.  My mobo is stuffed with shop towels, eraser almost everywhere, and layers of plastidip on socket area and back of board.  It's fool-proof.  I'm not worried...everything is working as designed.  It will be fully operational tomorrow.

Hay Q not to sure if your doing this or not but its also a good idea when combating bad condensation, to vasilne the PCI and Dimm slots as well.......it normaly saves a lot of issues!!!
 
Good luck mate

yep. that pj is a major lifesaver to say the least!!
 
im wondering what would happen if you pj'd the whole board. 

Yeap don that it works a treat

that's what i was thinking...and the best part about pj...it doesn't seem to freeze...but i never been lower tan -82 degrees.

well after seeing that i know ima have to do some sweet insulation >< im in the northern part of aus and its comming into summer. humidity is gunna be a ****
