Impressive Teyber

I'm sick and tired of mounting and re-mounting evaps 10 times before the luck strikes in and it happens to sit perfectly aligned on top of the cpu and with the correct amount of pressure.

I tell ya, someday I'll hit the jackpot!

My hands are just raw from screwing butterfly nuts all morning.

Here is what I do when mounting Evaps.

Mount everything up but not super tight. Super tight mountings can actually warp the MB and cause all kinds of other problems. When I am mounting a Evap I give the Evap a few twists and turns to snug everything up nice.

Leave the Phase off, turn on your computer and have a temp meter on the Evap and let it run until you get to 50c or so then shut off the computer.

The heat will cause everything to settle down and spread out and form good contact.

Then tighten down a little bit more and your good.

My thoughts are if you just mount the Evap then fire up the Phase and get everything cold before you ever turn on the computer you will freeze any bumps in the TIM and will result in bad contact.

Also when tighten down the 4 thumb screws snug them all up, not tight, then thighten down the thumb screws at opposite corners at the same time. try and do it so each thumb screw is tighten the same amount so you dont end up with more pressure on one screw vs another.

intresting
sow you just fire up the motherboard but without turning on the phase.

Going to test this out sounds like a good plan. thanks for the advice ^^

Yes I do, my Phase does not have a controller so its np. I also have a temp probe and use a Fluke to watch temps, when it gets to 50c or so I shut off the Comp and let it sit for a minute.

All I do when I fire up the comp is just bring into the BIOS and let it sit while watching the temps.

This is what I'm talking about. Guess it's easier to built a rocket and land on the moon then to make a perfect contact between the evap and the cpu:

...


Tried everything. No pressure, a little pressure, a lot of pressure etc

There is NO way to get this this to work; the evap's head just gets hidden inside the foam and the contact is lost

I need a new mount. Sorry Teyber this rant has nothing to do with your thread besides the fact that I need to test your mounts.

Jor3lBR to be so hard on yourself

Just use a layer or two of blue shop towel around that area, have a foam ring that goes around the evap inclosure to seal it all tight.

I have that problem also from time to time, mostly with a new piece of foam. It does get squashed down pretty thin after I reuse it time and time again.

You contact does not look that bad tho. Just be sure to not over tighten your hold down screws as that can warp the MB abd cause strange issues.

Plus I do not use o-rings at all so I dont have that extra space needed for that. Its all good tho., if your mount needs the o-ring then I see no harm.

You use a layer of frost king on top of the eraser ?
I do not use that as it just adds extra heigth to the insulation area, just stack up the eraser to the top of the CPU IHS. Any extra pressure from the evap enclosure will squash that down.
