Ln2 @ NB probably?
That neophrene tape is called "Sticky Neophrene" in the Dutch I guess :D

Frost king freaking owns. Obscurely placed at Lowe's in some stupid aisle next to duct tape, don't waste your time looking in the insulation section.
Home depot's equivalent is called "Reflectix"
I didn't want to make new thread, so I post my question here. Hope, it's OK...
What thermal compund You guys most use with LN2/DICE?
I was talking Jaan yesterday (some of You should know him), and he told, he always uses Liquid Metal Pro: between IHS-pot and for filling the sensor hole in the pot's base...
Also I would like to know: IC Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound vs Arctic Ceramique vs MX2 ?
I have used MX2 in my previous DICE/LN2 runs :yawn:
Today I saw Ceramique in a local PC store. It is 22g tube and it costs 8$ - I bought it:D
I always use Ceramique :)
Does Ceramique stay "half-liquid" @subzero or it freezes and gets solid?
I thing solid , because when i take the pot out , its like i painted the cpu white. And after 5-10 mins it becomes like normal again ;)
Any more thoughts?
My main question is Ceramique vs IC DC7.
I thing that hipro tested both and made a table . I cant remember where the topic is but i will try to find it and give it to you:)
does stg1 is good for DI benchs?
Good stuff indeed, and a good guide. Just noticed www.under-the-ice.com has almost the exact same stuff at a good price for all you who can't get it locally or just need more :)

k|ngp|n, great guide it made my first attempt at DI a smooth and successful one.
Great guide :)
How would you go about removing the nail polish afterwards?
Thanks
Thanks GREAT Guide!!
I hope i can find something alike here in germany xD
This would work just the same for simple direct die unit as well wouldn't it?
@TS : Where I can buy LN2 Pot ?
Thanks
just how important is it to use nail polish? what would be the most likely consequence of following the steps in this guide for a dry ice run minus the nail polish part? would like an answer from anyone that has done an ln2 or dry ice run before
is this still a recommended method for a first timer? or should i go with eraser? or something else?
Nail polish, conformal coating, liquid electrical tape, vaseline, lots of ways to do it...anything that seals the board and compenents from water. Eraser is not my thing but lots of guys use it, imo it doesn't seal as well as the others.
Artist's eraser is a perfect sealant but a horrible insulator. Expect it to form condensation easily. This can be a nightmare especially in high humidity climates. You can combat this with paper towels, sealing off even more of the board or using something else entirely.
We are all down with masking tape and plastic spray (two or three layers)

Guys, I just prepared an M4E with liquid electrical tape and erasor only to find its DEAD ffs, dinos reckons vaseline is the easy and quick way that also works very well, so what do I do? Just slap it all over and off I go? Do you do under the mobo too or use foam and paper towel there?
Any help would be great.
:P
