I have a R9800XT cooling by TEC (172W pelt at 18V). MCW50-T
Took the necessary precautions against the condensation:
Read here OCTools CONDENSATION PREVENTION:Socket Style.
I use a dielectric grease around the GPU Core, and just a thick layer of Dow Corning Conformal Coating (1-2577) on the backside:
When the MCW50-T used the 80W pelt, no problem at all, then finally switch it to 172W pelt, either without problem. I could use my Rig normally, no shorting or whatsoever.
Today, dismount the MotherBoard and the VidCard too and... I found a little pubbles of water at the backside
Now here is my question...
What do you recomend?
- Add more Dow Corning Conformal Coating (RTV) on the exist layer
- Put a thick neoprene gasket on the backside.
What is better?
Any advise?
Thanks in advance
Greetings.
