Hello. What do you guys think of airsealing CPU socket with hotglue, and then smashing rest of insulations on. Socket would be perfectly airtight with it, but but. Will it go to sockets connectors, so that CPU stops working? :) Also, its quite easy to remove, you can rip it off in one or few pieces.
Below is some testing with old motherboard. Didn't dare to do it with my NF7-S without asking first.

Can you still lift the lever?

That actually seems like a pretty good idea. Try it and post if it kills your system :)

Hot glue in the socket would ruin it. Around the socket sounds like a good idea :)
Gary, did you ever get that computer everyone donated parts for to work?
hey i have that same board, epox 8RD3A+ one of the first revisions, so how did you kill it, mine died recently water leak
this is a good idear i think, i might try it on my cpu once i get my chillier on the computer, if you can remove it easly would be an option

It's not totally dead, just really suffered. Smashed some capacitors off from the board, CPU power regulation is kinda broken, and sockets clips are broken. It's been through hell of an many tests :D
