Yeah...Gonna have to disagree..
I have a universal cpu back plate for all my boards.
This allows me to change from air to water to phase change to dice to ln2 on the fly. That way when your done benching...blow dry the board and set the air or water block back on top.
My board has been prepped for ln2 and that means the vrms are all covered under electrical tape and eraser and the heat sink sits on top, but I run it everyday using a water chiller setup that I never turn on. Just the pump is running. No fans or radiators.
This can be done with any board for the most part. Since now a days one can get some really go air numbers for gpus, but cpus...not so much. And since you like vantage, that's what you need most. High running cpu.
Look at how dusty mine looks, but runs under 99F for about 95 percent of the time.
But it's only my opinion though...
Edit:
You're a bit behind the times. Vaseline is easy to clean out of the cpu socket. Where have you been?
