    Motherboard post-Ln2

    Got a noob question about Ln2 Cooling :P

    From my understanding you're motherboard could easily handle the cold/ice thats being generated when going under Ln2, but once you're done with a long overclocking session and your motherboard is all covered in ice which ofcourse melts to water it wouldn't be that clever to start it even if the "watervalues" are really low. So what is your prefered method of 100% drying your motherboard after a overclocking session?

    I've heard putting it in the oven @ 50C is a good way to do it, any other tips you experienced people can hand me?

    Yea put it in the oven @ ~50°C or use a hair-dryer. But the oven is imho the best way.

    Chuck it in the oven. I bake my boards at 220F for 10 minutes and then turn off the heat. Have done this to 15-20 boards, no deaths due to baking at 100 Celsius I would however suggest using oven mitts to remove the board and let it cool down before using.
