It must be noticed that the motherboards shown were two seperate installations carried about the writer of this article.Įnsure your motherboard is clean and free of dust.
Note in this guide the writer is using two differing motherboards in order to further highlight parts. Hint: if you are short of foam sheets then erasers and or modelling clay can be used.Ĭongratulations you have completed the first part of the guide, well done!
The final layer would be a sheet of Armaflex foam, cut in a similar manner to that of the paper towel. IT is at this pount that it would be a good idea to place some vascaline between the CPU and the socket area, or simply insert some spare artist erasers here and mould into shape. Note this is an important layer as it will catch any stray drips of condensation. Hint: The long M4 mounting bolts should punch through the paper towel. Cut the paper towel to the shape of the processor socket area and place over the area where there erasers were used. HINT: Make sure you push the putty eraser right up to the mounting bolts. However this leaves the motherboard in a mess and would have to be cleaned with Isopropyl alcohol. Note: that if putty eraser is too expensive then childrens modelling clay is a great alternative to artist erasers. It is advisable to actually cover the whole of the metal socket with eraser, right up to the edge of the processor itself! Once flat simply spread the eraser around the system board (the exact places where you placed the nail polish) Make sure the eraser has been pushed right up to the metal processor socket area and that all capacitors are covered. Some brands of eraser are harder to mould than others to get around this your mothers rolling pin can be used. Simply mould the eraser in your hands, until its flat. Remember the putty eraser we were speaking of earlier? This is where we finally use it. You should see your CPU temperatures start to drop. Slowly add more pellets to the pot but once again do not overfill, otherwise the medium will bubble over onto your precious motherboard.Here select hardware monitoring (or whatever it says in your particular BIOS) and take a note of the CPU temperature. Power on the computer and enter into the BIOS.Please reffer to the guides safety instructions that is use an old coffee or styrofoam cup in order to scoup out the dry ice pellets. On the initial run-simply place two pellets inside the pot and let them ‘fizzle’ away.Place a small funnel into the opening of your copper pot and pour either Acetone or Isopypol alcohol into the funnel and never directly into the copper pot (safe working practices here) and fill the pot to about 1/10th of the way up (DO NOT OVERFILL THE POT) Remember to remove the funnel.To help minimise the above, let us use the following steps: Lower it too fast and you could end up with a cold-boot lock or a motherboard crash. The secret to cooling your computer down is to slowly lower the temperature.
