Proper insulation ?

[M.Beier]

Hey here's a pic.. Does it seem proper?? - I know the top is a bit messy, but its perfect below..
Its armaflex termo-tape..

Yeah thats fine just use dielectric in between to fill any gaps that may have been caused by overlaps etc

[M.Beier]

CPU insulation worked perfectly...
GFX insulation on the other hand, it werent efficient, the PCB got cooold, no leaks in insulation, but PCB = -8 deg C :P
- Insulated WHOLE gfx now.. :)

- And I've learned a lesson "TURN OFF THE FREAKIN' PUMP WHILE COMPUTERS TURNED OFF"

I don't like the foam on the CPUs SMDs but you're golden around the socket :)

hehe, yeah, It caused troubles... :) - Couldnt get proper contact - tested with AS5 ofcause, so removed it, but there's still some on, which gives a quite nice effect, allows me to push a bit on the cooling head and still have proper contact... - Which was quite hard before.. :)

Sadly, my CPU has a delta 30 !!! - load temps are 30 deg C warmer than liquid, which sucks... - Can only go @ +5 to +10 load... - But it clocks great, more results up lateron today, but 3250mhz on -15 liquid, aimming for 3300mhz P95 stable.. - 3400/3450 bench stable.

Thats how it looked yesterday, new pics up lateron today... :)

Dude... r u planning to run ln2 trough it :P haha, very thick insulation for a chiller.. but good though.

Lol, almost overboard on the insulation there. Should do the trick I'd imagine.

And I fought I used a very little, reed Shamino / Lardarse's guide for insulation on VR-zone, wow, 2-3 different things around CPU, WHOLE mobo in insulation :D

[marvt74]

Haha nicely done :D

Any specs on the chiller?

Yes, but not allowed too submit them :)
Lets just say it has a decent capacity :D

But CPU has a major coldbug... - But dont think 300W load from GPU + CPU + GFX-mem into the water will bring it down to warmer than -20 / -25 deg C :)

The compressor EATS power, the whole unit uses 45x W :D

LOL That will do. As far as I'm concerned you can't be to carefull. I would rather go to extremes with insulation to protect my expensive parts.

hope to see some posts on the temps soon.

[M.Beier]

hehe, my CPU likes 20 deg as well as 65 @ load... So temps arent important atm... - Idle = lower than 10, coldbugs appear... - I'll have to keep the water warm... But gonna ship my "old" CPU today, then I'll get a new in next week :)

- If that doesnt have coldbug it'll be running soon :D - Futher, a couple of danes has offered their aid... 3700+ coldbug free, FX55 coldbug free, x1900XT for benchies with me :)

EDIT:
At 65 deg C load, it still runs P95 at 3,0 ghz stable :D

Not the prettiest thing but that is not the point of the insulation is it.
Looks good, and if it works even better to me.

Nice clocks, and good luck, I think that's really cool that people offer you good clocking hardware just to see a new WR.

Hehe, well, didnt happen, had to buy it, but its around the same price as an used Mach I / Mach II, and performs alot better IMO...

... But when I get more time, I'll look into not having to buy all the stuff myself ;)
