| Installing a custom Phase Change Cooler |
Page 2 of 5
Test Setup Here's a list of components which I used ...
- Asus Maximus Extreme
Preparing the motherboard Setting the motherboard for phase was a very delicate matter. I attached the back plate and armaflex pad with 4 long bolts securing with 1 washer and a nut on each bolt making sure to squash the armaflex pad a little to make sure it was air tight.
I then turned the motherboard over to install the cpu, then insulated the socket area; this time using sticky armaflex. I doubled it up and packed out all around the cpu socket and between the capacitors to make sure no condensation could get in.
Once I was happy with all the insulation, I covered the CPU in Ceramique by Arctic Silver; I used this as it does not shrink under extreme Temperatures. I then setup my motherboard ready to do some benching in the same way anyone else would just attaching Drives and Peripherals I then added my water cooling loop for my Northbridge.
