Insulating with eraser

[Viss]

I would only use grease if you dont remove evap/tube for a while. I never do but always take cpu out right after run.

Hi every1!
I had my singlestage running yesterday for a couple of hours and this morning.
I took the rubber off and it didn't leave any markings, so this insulation method is DA SHIZNIT !!!

No condensation on the board or in the socket at all!

MAN THIS IS SWEET. this is what ill do with my next board, grease everywhere and nail polish isnt easy to clean.

Seems to be more dry/less flexible Pete. This is the one i used:

how many do u need for a good insulation?

Got this from Michael's (a hobby superstore here in US) .About $ 4.00 a pack .

I paid 0.65 Euro for one piece!
And I needed 2 pieces to insulate, but mine looked pretty bad.
How many layers did you use? Just one?

I guess your not supposed to use the yellow kind?? But I'm having contact issues. I'm not sure why ima trouble shoot a bit more though to find out.

We recently used yellow ones under ln2, but gray ones are "clean". I just use Faber branded gray: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FABER-CASTELL-...29141001r38291

We all know people using different brands and colours, i don't want to give a faulty advice

My first try was too thin and the uneveness around socket caused me condensation pockets. I think The GanG approach pictured here is the way to go. Will try it next time.

@bluto
Yeah, I was worried that you could have condensation problems because of this one thin layer.
That's why I tried to "copy" loc.o...be with the kneaded rubber at the same height as the CPU heatspreader.
So it's one plain surface.

It makes a big difference; a lot of layers...
Loc.o's and splmann's works are good samples...

I tried this last night no condensation anywhere?? where does it go???

[BNDMOD]

I`d like to ask few things that i must to know
If you use a SS for bench only for benchs session... i must use dielectrica grease under that eraser?

I know that i must use always grease into the socket....

By the Way what i can use like you use white neoprene adhesive tape?

Air+cold surface (specially metal or hard plastic)=condensation
Air+eraser=no condensation...

no grease under eraser, with grease, it becomes b.ulls.hit
backplate+regular neoprene+mobo+eraser+regular neoprene is a good way...

Can this method be used for chilled water setups for every day stuff? because iv been having condensation problems with mine using neoprene..etc.

[TheGanG]

Sure, i am not an expert but i use it with Chilled Water, D-Ice pot and LN2...
It would be a good idea, rebuildind that stuff weekly (or monthly?)

yeah, i was wondering how much mainanance it needs.

loc.o's advice...

i use that stuff but as i said, i am not an expert

[BNDMOD]

I know that it`s better neoprene than armaflex, but i can`t find neoprene here in argentina.... so i`ll use armaflex.. is it ok?

[ceemic]

BND|MOD, Armaflex = neoprene. Neoprene is the material, Armaflex is just a trademark.

Thanks.. i always believe that armaflex was not the same as neoprene :P

Thanks for that
