    oh darn it.... seems my system with FX-60 just boots up into windows then shuts down

    if i try to power it up again, it immediately shuts down ?

    i removed the evap and insulation foam to dry things out, put a hair dryer on low heat to the cpu socket to ensure it's not condensation...

    left it for a few hours, then installed the insulation foam again and remounted evap....

    go into windows at 200x16 at 1.552v and tried stressprime dual prime test it went for around 5mins and then rebooted, and then shutdown itself again ????

    the idle and load temps are like normal idle -18C to -20C and load +0C to +1C to +2C....

    soooo what can be wrong ? still condensation in cpu socket ? with all the insulation i did of the board, could it still not be enough ?

    any ideas guys ?

    You put dielectric grease in the socket & all over the cpu pins?

    Nah didn't put dielectric grease in the socket or pins... the top side of the board was dry as a barren desert really.

    But decided to take it all apart and guess what i found when i lifted the motherboard up to see the back side....







    But the actual back side of the cpu socket area is dry, so maybe the puddle of water was touching the non foam/LET painted area of the back of the board ?

    Luckily i had PCB lacquered the entire backside of the board so the motherboard should be safe.





    Hope the same for my FX-60! Going to pluck it in on my DFI NF4 Ultra-D i have spare to confirm ....

    with the pool of water on back side.. do you think that was accumulated over time due to condensation or it happened within the last 24hrs or last run ?

    i only turned the system on last night for some runs.. then it was off for 8+ hrs and only turned it on this afternoon....

    It's weird as the backside of board foam is dry and the inside of the perspex back plate is dry, only the outside of the perspex back plate is wet ?

    must of been that puddle of water on backside of board causing the shutdowns.. as no probs right now..

    did the following

    1. extended the red LET covering a wider area of back side of motherboard
    2. added a whole piece of neoprene foam that covers entire backside of motherboard, then added existing grey piece, then the back plate... so added an extra 6-8mm in thickness of insulation on entire back side

    Well i ordered off Kayl an extra 9m roll of aerotape/sticky back insulation tape and 2x sets of evap mounting kits (4x bolts, washers, 4x wingnuts, 1x backing plate per set) so i can insulate other boards and just swap the boards around to play with my black beauty

    Next board getting the insulation treatment will be my DFI CFX3200-DR http://i4memory.com/cfx3200dr/ for Crossfire
