Need to build my benching chamber asap, surprised this board hasn't died yet with ~15 3-hour runs like this. Georgia humidity doesn't play around.
I dont understand how you get water all over the board like that. I can run at -165c loaded for hours and hours and hours and those areas of the board that have water droplets all over them in your pic like the ps2/ethernet/usb ports and pwm heatsinks never even get cold the slightest bit...in fact they stay warm to to the touch. The whole motherboard does excepte maybe 1/2 inch outside the foam. That picture is really puzzling
Are you using air conditioning or dehumidifier at all down there when you bench?
