I use liquid electrical tape on my gpu.. 3 coatings and its water tight.

I use it on the backside of the motherboard too.

top side of motherboard i use a generous amount of eraser.

what? this? http://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender.../dp/B000FPAN2K

copy my list and remove the steps you dont do and add what you do.

I'm looking for a less time consuming insulation process.

Hmm...
How important is it to coat a PCB like that?

For the back of the motherboard I've been using pipe wrap with the sticky side on the board between the backplate and board and filling around the DRAM slots/VRM on the outside of the layer of pipe wrap with eraser. Then the board sits on paper towels on a motherboard box since I don't have a benchtable. Its also super easy to clean off...peel off the pipe wrap after you unmount and then peel off the eraser, comes off in one peice, 5 second cleanup.

Worked fine for me 3 times during 6-8 hour full pot benching sessions and I will continue to do so...

As far as the top of the board, I've been doing this:

1. Lay down kneaded eraser tight around socket to top of board and near first pcie slot, as far as possible to VRM caps and tight around DRAM slot...
2. Lay down layer of grey pipe wrap insulation (has the foil on the back) to surround the CPU socket from VRM to DRAM
3. Make gasket of paper towels/shop towels about 12-ply on top of that
4. Lay down neoprene gasket that is tight around CPU socket to be compressed tight when mounted there for a seal...
5. Touch up unused DRAM slots if needed with masking tape/eraser, stuff neoprene bits in open spaces around VRM that I couldn't seal
6. Mount pot extremely tight for full contact and to completely seal CPU area.
7. Lay out paper towel over VRM to catch any condensation

Worst temps I had on 1st DRAM slot were -11c after 2-3 hours of benching and then it would hold. Had a few problems in my first run with first slot icing over/thawing, dropping channels...fixed that later on.

On top of this I can pretty much reuse my paper towel gasket and neoprene gasket over and over, pipe wrap bits too that I layed down first. Only effort on top side of motherboard for me is to lay down the eraser now. After an 8 hour full pot run with an 1100T, I had no condensation anywhere on the board but the top of the VRM heatsink very near the pot. Quick stay in the oven @ 80c fixed that quick

Where did you find the extra speed?

Where did you find the extra speed?

Disabled channel/bank interleaving, memory hole remapping...more CPU_NB voltage... (all that stuff really shouldn't matter too much), 80ohms CPU ODT
Other than that I don't know...

What seemed to matter the most was CPU On-die Termination. 80ohms is the sweet spot, 120ohms is good up until 1150 and 60ohms is good until about 1300-1330 on my CPU.

Ram only needed 1.75v for 1372

Hello guys =)

Let me show you my new scores with ADATA XPG Plus V2 + ASUS Maximus Extreme IV Z + Intel Core i5 2500K using LN2 with F1 Dragon



Some pictures from event xD



XtremeSystems in Peru !!!! FTW.

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

very nice Solid Snake, especially the last pic

[G.Foyle]

I think I could start benching Adata exclusively for that girl

[Hondacity]

wow that girls is so.... inspiring me to buy more ln2!

[Don_Dan]

Nice scores Solid Snake!

And that's a pretty cute girl...

[Mafio]

moaaaaaaaaaaaar pics of that gal

p.s. nice results, congrats

[BeepBeep2]

Really sick CPU!

[BeepBeep2]

We're up to 9th place worldwide! I think Dave really gave us the push with his Xeon E5 2687W's

HWBox lost many WR points due to IB release, we don't have many WR points so we can't lose any too...

Let's see some IB results guys!

[Hondacity]

I thought they lost a member or two lol.

Wish I could buy an ib right now...the wait is killing people lol

asus mvg 184$ shipped

use code: tidyup20

[G.Foyle]

I've seen ivy's lying in boxes on a shelf, and I cant buy them because Intel said no and people in shop are corporate mo***s....

[Hondacity]

at least you see the boxes, here in the mountains far far away. i can only see it thru newegg.com lol

3770K will be available in Greece around late May . Till then , it's difficult to compete .

Haha, I love SuperBiiz...I scored a Phenom II 955 BE for $83 + shipping two days ago after $15 off coupon.

I don't know for sure, I thought they were just losing some points.

You guys have been pushing so hard during the last weeks, let us catch up!

Thanks honda, I got one from superbiz.

[G.Foyle]

I was thinking of getting a Gene too, but I tried my ES on an ASRock Extreme6 and I was pleasantly surprised: it works Got some cold issues below -140, but I can work around that.
A quick stability test with wrong os, bad mems and little time:

[Hondacity]

1.67v for 6.2g

needs more cold
