This has been something we've been tossing to and fro recently so why not make a thread about it I had asked myself...... So I did.
Picking up from where we left off, I do use dielectric in the RAM slots and (So far) never had a problem with it. I agree with Mac, Vaso I don't suggest unless you must use it, dielectric is fine since it's made for electronics/electrical connections.
While I did pack the slots with it once all that squishes out I'll just leave it.
The protective film of it should still be there overall and will refresh it as needed only.

my biggest reason for no vaso was the cleanup.. even if you wanted to protect the board sure. but that stuff over time gets pretty gunky. also if the board is under warranty and they find vaso on the board they'll void the warranty anyway.. so no vaso, no cleanup, yay warranty..

Went out and resprayed around the CPU socket to try and make sure nothing seeps in. That came out OK and now just letting the clear harden. It will take a couple of days for it to do so completely but once done it's gonna get tested.
Wasn't bad the way it was but I prefer a little overprep than underprep. I just had to make sure it was done right and nothing got into the socket or anything else important. Will probrably fire it up either Friday or over the weekend.

Had issues with it stopping at code 32 (RAM error) during boot, took time to figure it out but got to the bottom of it. I had not completely tightened the hinge part of the CPU hold down (Got distracted with something else important going on while doing it  ) and it wasn't applying enough pressure to that side of the CPU itself when the latch was down. I also took a sliver of paperbacked fine sandpaper and cleaned the CPU pin tips to be sure there was no clearcoat overspray on them causing a bad connection. After fixing all that I retested and it lives, ready 2 rumble!  Will give it a subzero shakedown soon and see how it does.  |

Began work on the Sabo 2.0 for the meet and just to have it done in a more permenantly insulated setup. Instead of having to worry about it each time I won't have that bother, just check it and set it up to run. Not to mention the plastalina is messy, it does work but after awhile it can be a real PITA since it tends to creep around into places it shouldn't such as the CPU socket. Still a little remaining to remove from the board, will also have to clean off the oily residue it left behind so my sealant will stick and go from there. That's next up and something Dawn can take care of. Let it dry out for about a week or two then move onto the next part of it.   |

Hot water with sprayjets and some Cascade with Dawn does wonders for a board.
The first round removed alot of it and it's currently going for a second spin. Won't hurt a thing as long as I allow it to dry completely afterwards, at least a week, maybe two before I apply power to it again. Sitting out in the benchshack will provide a good drying enviroment for it this time of year here.

I suspect it's along a similar line of thinking what some playfully call "dildo soup". The hot water and steam in a dishwasher would probably allow for cleaning of things, but more importantly, sterilization, although I'd question it's effectiveness for such. Dildo soup is a lot faster though, but most generally have a dedicated colander for such as a "just in case". Only works on non-porous sex toys that can handle head and don't have any extras though, such as ones made of platinum cured silicon. Bring water to a boil, boil for ten minutes... Boom, sterilized toys. Pre-washing the toys with soap is generally recommended for such, but the boiling allows for anything left over to go buh bai, especially in nooks and crannies. |

Been awhile since I last posted here.
Moving on with prep for the meet, I may have figured out a partial solution to the somewhat limited use of my T-Rex pot. With this at least there will be a few more boards I could use it with....If it works at all.
More later as things develop.

The Sabo is ready, got the back done this morning and now it's ready for anything.
One more to do and I'm done - Probrably the Ultra D I've been working on so I can try one of my good 148's in it, ran on LN2.
These behave as if they don't have a CB/CBB so I'll give one a shot and see how it goes.

The benching itself will go on for two days (Fri-Sat) and some of the guys had mentioned about possibly doing a live stream/feed of it, definitely will have some video of what happens. The signup thread at the bot has the dates and such you'd need to know for when it's happening.
I will be paying close attention Mac - Gonna watch the experienced guys at first, then set one up and hammer down!

Here's a shot of the current work on the T-Rex, once I get it all done I will test it and make sure there are no leaks. I'll use water to see if I have any seepage past the O-ring, should seal if it's going to at all. If it will hold water, it should hold acetone too. Will also depend on if the tabs I made will bend easily or hold their form - Hopefully they will hold well enough. Will also look at the tabs in relation to the mounting holes of the pot itself just in case, the thing here is to run it with DICE or even LN2 on sockets/boards the pot can sit on properly but can't actually mount up to in relation to the hole pattern of a given socket. The pot is more than heavy enough to have sufficient downward pressure on a CPU, it's just a huge slug of copper you know. More work to do so I'm on it.  |

What are you doing here Rodney it wont leak you are not filling it up to the top with acetone only half an inch in the bottom then put dry ice in.
I never had a problem with leakage with the Dragon F1 and the extension tube with dry ice and I have had it foaming up to the top of the tube no o ring at all.
Its going to be an experience with nitrogen it doesnt even want to touch the wall of the pot it even looks like its holding it self off the wall by a thou or so
It will bubble and boil off slowly below 160c then all of a sudden the pot will be cold enough to make full contact with with the nitrogen and it will boil off furiously and the temp will drop super quick to 180c 190c and then it will just simmer in there.
What are you going to wrap it in?
With the Dragon you get a round tube of closed cell foam long enough to make 2 tubes for it I am still using the original.

Making sure the pot stays together while in use, that being the biggest concern I have. Yes, it was to keep any acetone from seeping out while it's "Boiling" and possibly hurting the board. Already know there is no way you can fill it to the top with acetone - Doesn't work that way. However you say it shoudn't have an issue with that, good to know.  It didn't come with any wrap so I'll have to see about what to use. |

OK - Prep on the X570 has started, shots of right before and after spraying with clearcoat shown. Will have to check and probrably apply another coat but believe the coat I have on it now will do from how it looks ATM. After that I'll have to coat the backside of it, much easier to do and not mess anything up. Then test and make sure it's still working, no reason to believe it won't work.   |

Started prep on the Apex this morning, need to reshoot it one more time and then do the back. I'll do that later this evening with the front, then do the back once that has time to set. Most likely it will be tomorrow morning when the back gets done. EDIT: The front came out rather well with nothing in the CPU socket or anything else except for one of the PSU 8 pin plugs, a little got in from the tape coming up as I was shooting it this morning but that's an easy fix. Went ahead about an hour ago and did the back and that so far looks excellent - Great coverage with no spots the clearcoat didn't want to adhere to. If it looks good enough in the morning I'll call it done and reassemble the board for testing. Apply dielectric in the VRM area to ensure it's sealed, at the chipset too and remount the heatsinks once done with the dielectric. This way I'll know it's sealed and ready for whatever.  |

Useful thread, I´m now approaching my first sub-ambient runs and currently I´m thinking a lot about how I want to prep the board. The pot already came with some insulation material for it, and it will be wrapped in towel on top so no worries there.
Just the board, for starters I´m going with some cheap old hardware so no warranty. Is there any benefit from using vaso in terms of safety? Anything to look out for when using plasti-dip? I´ve ordered a bunch of material and will test what works best for me.
