To prepare my GF4 for my cold plates, I slapped on some liquid electric tape. The same stuff that UaZa put on the back of his Epox 8k3a+. It owns!
What I did for this was... I covered everything (including the GPU and ram on the front) with the l.e.t. and I then cut em out w/ a razor. Tada! Gotta do the back still :P

looks like jelly.:banana: :banana:
Where do you pick that stuff up at? I've never heard of it before.
haha
looks like you shoved ithe card inside yourself :eek:
Also I forgot to mention, I will be doing a few more coats, and after I volt mod, I'm goign to cover all that up too. I probably WON'T do the capacitors though as it would be a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to get all this stuff off, if I were to fry it. :P It does peal off quite nicely though on other spots.
My mom went to Home Depot and said she found it in a box underneath a shelve with dust over it.... heh so uhh, I dunno, check Home Depot I geuss :)Quote:

liquid latex!!!
does it have a spremacide in it too???? looks liek it could stop any ''leak'' LOL
dude post the exact name on the box so we can all buy some!
Nick, they're at the Home Depot local to us in the electrical aisle hanging off the side of the shelf in a small display.
It's Starbrite brand I believe. Stuff is great, haven't supercooled a vid card so I didn't insulate my whole card but I find that coating the back of the video card (towards the CPU) is great insurance in case your waterblock or condensation ever decides to put a few drops of water on your video card.

Well umm, the exact name on it says "Liquid Electrical Tape" I don't see a brand. But it's a tin can, w/ a yellow label, and black text.Quote:

Exactly, gives you a pretty good buzz too if you inhale too much of it. :)Quote:

If you use it on your motherboard though, it's an absolute PITA to get out from underneath the capacitors. Might make the RMA guys bat an extra eye or two at your board.

does it come in different colors? :toast:
Red and green is what I saw in stock at Home Depot.
You can sometimes find liquid electrical tape at Auto Zone also.

Can you do away with grease if you use this stuff?
That looks very cool. Much easier than the whole neoprene thing. I'll pick up some of that when I take my system apart to rebuild my TEC rig :D.
Hardass, I would assume so. This stuff works great!
hey UaZa, what is that neoprene looking stuff, and how did you get it so even on your block?
is it spray-on foam or something?
