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...
I Understand and That's a Great Method that you employ. Everyone has different Methods for Prepping/Running Sub-Zero Temps on their Hardware.
I just want to see if there is a difference between Two MB's on Air Cooling before I have to do any Prep Work for Colder Temps!
Edit:
You're a bit behind the times. Vaseline is easy to clean out of the cpu socket. Where have you been? 
Just Joking John, I Know it is Easy to Clean out Vaseline from the CPU socket (Been using it since 2008).
And Where have I been?
Well, since I had to Quit OC'ing back in January 2012 due to Ongoing Health Issues, I Guess I AM a "Bit Behind the Times".
I Turned 68 last September and after spending some previous months in the Hospital with herniated discs and then again in Rehab to learn how to Walk Again, I finally made it back here to the Forums.
