It works...

My first attempt:

I loved this so easy even a PhaseNewB can do it.

Thanks for the heads up OP!

Very nice :up: If you dont have grease in socket dont let evap on for too long (as in weeks).

:( It's for a 24/7 OCZ Cryo-Z!

I used grease inside the socket and under th chip do you think I should use more around the socket itself?

I have a good dry weather here in Northern Arizona.

I guess you only need to use into socket and under cpu...

Around socket you have eraser way :) and neoprene insulation too :)

So you don`t need the grease around....

By the way... i`m planing to use phase only for benchs no more than 5 hours per session, and ìm thinking to use eraser way and a layer of armaflex above eraser.... Of course i`ll use grease into socket and contact face of cpu..... I have a very hot benching room... what do you think. must i take other cautions?

No mate as long as its under chip and in socket its fine :up: BND if its for only few hours id not put anything in socket only if you let evap/tube on for long time.

When I insulate the socket for dry ice benching. Should I a) cut out some neoprene and put it in the open space of the socket or b) not worry about it - simply mask over the metal socket and lay on the eraser onto it

Thanks,

Both should do. Sometimes i use some neoprene in socket to fill "open" spaces so there's less air but its not necessary at all.

Ok sweet. Thanks for you help loc.o :)

@serenity
I even filled the little gaps of the socket and "cpu-holddown" with eraser. (I hope you understand what I mean.)
It came off really easy. But you also can stuff some neopren/armaflex in those gaps.

Hey Guys,

After my first couple of runs with a Phase Change and the rubber insulation I have some questions:

- I left the Phase Change Unit on for 16hrs and this morning I decided to check the mounts I noticed that the lapped surface was touching not only the cpu but the eraser surrounding it as well - is this ok?

- I also noticed a drop of water coming down the neoprene material surrounding the cpu socket - is this a sign of a bad insulation?

Thanks!

EDIT:

A pic may help, this re mark represents where the water was after I shut the unit down and disassembled the unit after a 16hrs run:

Is there a regular waiting period before you can really unscrew the phase change from the socket?

Hey Teyber what's the fuss about? It's a regular Q9650 :shrug:

The Evap is regular size 1,5 and the ring above 2,5 I guess...

Give me some pointers here please :D

Tx mate I love watercool.de stuff and made my pwm temps drop from 60•C to 25•C loaded for Quads.

Just tested this weekend, blutack works perfectly!

I'll post pics later, little harder to apply on mobo.

But it's worth it, cheap and comes off easily :)

do not use bluetac for full insulation
it doesnt work well and will sweat and probably kill a board quicker than you can say cheese. i almost took out the 790iFTW Digital with full insulation

i do use bluetac around the stocket only though....that works for me

it worked great for me dinos. you will just have to put something to on top of the bluetac insulation layer to absorb the condensation, for me it sweated alot the first time i tested that method.

yep perfectly :D that stuff is little bit tougher to get off than the kneeted rubber but still very officiant in keeping the nasty condensation away from your precious board with some help of dishcloth or something similar to keep the bluetac from sweating witch it does to some extend (at least with me ) :up:
