If your not prepared :D I insulated for -10C. I got down to -17.6C and got scared. Next thing you know my start bar dissapears everything freezes and I go to a black screen :| I filled my suspected trouble spot with diectectic greese and saw my res was at -19.5C :O To damned cold for my insulation :( Well after it cools down I'm gona try it again. If it was video card condensation my screen would be filled with artifacts and stuff right?

As long as it wasent to much I should be ok. Sealed the CPU better. Now it it would drop back to -15C I could boot again :D

I just booted to nothing :| I gota go to bed in like 10 minuts so I hope everythings ok in the morning because I dont have enough dielectric greese and insulation to remount the block again...

I suspect that to the right of the CPU block is where the air got in so I filled it with dielectric greese and shoved the pipe wrap back in.

Duct tape.... I was doing some cooler repairs at Mcarren (Las Vegas) air terminal and I met some of the tech's there. well in a pinch duct tape is the preferred method of repairing cracks in body ect... then they coat it with something to get it to fly to a repair yard...... Now every time a plane flies over???????????????

Damnit deleted my post. Off to Vans :p Anyway my friend couldent find a mouse pad when he built his rig so we used duct tape and cardboard. Worked pretty well but it moved. I didnt think of duct taping it to his desk :p
And :O at the duct tape and glue stuff thing for fixing planes. I'll never feel safe in the air again :p
