...
the plan here is to D-Ice cool the Master card and MachII cool the Slave (XTX) card.
(pic from gocchin)
use D-ice to remove RAM sinks
initial insulation job is TOO thick to fit on MASTER card
(this is NOT finished insulation... i KNOW those screws/base copper will NEED to be covered :p)
MINIMAL insulation testing... air-flow is a MUST!!!
Contact test... does it get any better
LOTS of work to do B4 actually running this.
mobo insulation / protection will be a MUST etc etc ... will try to keep updating here.
pot #2 doesn't really look usable to me
these are dents ... the one is DEAD CENTER and VERY DEEP : CRY :
NOTE: THESE ARE PROTOTYPE TUBES
AND DO NOT REPRESENT THE TRUE QUALITY
OF "COMMERCIAL" MOUSEPOTS!!!!!!!!!
Epox: i guess im psychic
---------------
NEW insulation
there was a thinner pipe section sent with the "kit"
still gets sweaty without ANY air-flow
but a little air-flow clears that right up
now to warm this thing up ... mount it... and see if it fits... ...
its going to be VERY close but im 75% sure it will SQUEEZE in there....
.
card prep:
there is a thick GLOPPY layer of dielectric grease under that 3/16" foam
and the plan is the same for the back
i think we have a weeee-ner
the added thickness of the back insulation on the XTX card will make this already TIGHT SQUEEZE even TIGHTER but i still think it will work
couldnt get ANY tighter!!!!
