    1. help evaporate any condensation befoe it could cause a problem and
    2. col down the water block even further.
    Then last weekend I added a floor fan in the back of my computer closet to blow air over the racks and out the closet front door.
    So I had blowing ambient air flowing over the cpu block and over some of the tecs (located on the surface of the boreas).
    This morning I accidently left the fans off - wow - look at the result - coolant down to 11.4C and idle cpu down to 19!
    This at 4.2 oc and with just over 1.4v cpuv.
    I missed this part.

    So definately ditch the idea of a RAD in the loop???

    Great figures! Wonder what load would do?

    Is your board insulated from condensation, if so, what would you recommend? I want to be able to change back to OEM as easily as possible (to resell for a MB change out). I hear the liquid electrical tape works well for that and is easily removed? Is the best way with the whole dielectric grease and foam with silicone to seal the chip? Or when one commits to insulating a MB they just write it off as never resellable?
