    insulating video cards

    I have a modded mach 1 that I would like to use for a water chiller for my nb and 2 4890s. I have never done this and would like advice on insulating the cards. Also do I need to further mod the mach 1 to adapt to a chiller? Thanks in advance.

    It has never been used for a water chiller but the mods are a chilly 1 evap, a larger condensor from under the ice, larger fans and is charged with r402.
    I tried your link and couldn't get it to work.

    See if that works. So how are you going to make it a chiller? Putting the chilly evap again a water block?

    Ok it worked that time, Ive read that, it's a great article. Ive been using phase on my cpu for about 6 months or so now without condensation problems. I've just never messed with video cards before and was wondering how to insulate them.
    I wanted to run a water cooling loop with a radiator and resevoir to cool the nb,sb and 2 video cards. I was hoping to cool the coolant in the resevoir with the phase unit.

    When I insulate my GPUs I use the same method as CPUs.
