Prometeia Mach 2 Help

[LanoX]

Hi People i was wondering if any 1 can point me in right direction i have prommy mach 2 and i head it hooked up on p4c800-d and unfortunately my mobo died from the condensation right under the CPU where the HEATER goes.

I was wondering if any one can give me some tips on how to prevent condensation as i really cant afford to get a new mobo every month lol .

I already got some tips from EVA 2000 on putting dielectric grease and lacquer pcb protective spray on the mobo also putting UNICK thermo paste on the chips and also are this tips good and correct as i wont to be 100% sure before i do anything.I was wondering if anyone else have any good ideas since i am positive that most of you here have prommys or some other type of extreme cooling .. txn heaps

Basically, if you fit the back plate right and apply sealstrong correctly, you will have zero condensation. Because no air would get in. Maybe you didnt put extra sealstring around the wires of the heating element? Or you could have had a gap elsewhere..

Yeah i have read it man but i cant seem to figure out the brands of the grease and other stuff that he used as my monitor is stuffed i know he used Dielectric grease .(which is black ) and what is that stuff that he used to put on the cpu socket holes its like white gel or something what is that called..??
Also he mentioned that he uses the foam but how can i put foam at the back of the mobo if the heater goes on the mobo i don’t get it? Maybe he is talking about different cooling method ..

§§§§ sorry iam still learning all this stuff ...

Black stuff is sealing string. White Gel is Dielectric Grease. Foam goes on top of heater or INSTEAD of heater.

If you have condensation on the back of the board then you haven't properly sealed the rear cell with sealing string.

No extras are required... everything the Prommi comes with is enough to do the job. 2 wraps of sealing string around edges of the back cell. Attach. 2 wraps around the front frame. Attach. One wrap around the edges of the microfreezer itself. Attach. Tighten down nuts. Done.

Everything is explained in this thread, and repeatedly thru-out this section of the forums... you just have to take a bit of time out to hunt n' read: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5073&highlight=install+tips
