Hey guys, I thought I would try this forum as XTREMESYSTEMS guys always have the best advice. My question is this: I am building my first vaporcooling setup (vapochill LS) and I am concerned for my graphics card (Geforce 6800 Ultra). I will of course be putting dieelctric (luberex) grease all in the socket pins until it gushes out the bottom (as I have heard to do). I was gonna put some dieelectric grease around the motherboard socket also. However, I have heard horror stories about condensation forming at the socket and dripping on to the graphics card and frying it. So I want to "waterproof" the back side of my graphics card. Any suggestions? I want something that is not permanent if possible. I have heard nail polish works (and can be removed with acetone). But is that safe for the board? Is it waterproof? Does it wear off (need to be reapplied)? If that is a solution that would be great...removal would be easy. I know conformal coating works but removing that isn't easy. Any other suggestions? Maybe dielectric grease all over the back of the card? sorry for all the questions. I appreciate all the help!
