I like know about alternative ways to prevent condensation in phase change cooled pc besides insulation. The cpu on the motherboard and the gpu on the dedicated graphics card are both cooled by phase change units to sub zero temperatures. This is only a theoretical topic.

 

options:

  • air seal the computer case
  • air seal the computer case and suck out the air
  • air seal the computer case and suck out the air and replace it with an other gas
  • blowing air on the pc conponents with multiple high performance fans
  • puting the pc components into an aquarium and fill it with mineral oil
  • putting a dehumidifier into the pc case

 

What do you guys think?

option one: still condensation

option two: no condensation, but would be hard to do (obviously)

option three: same as option two, but even harder

option four: would only help the condenstation

option five: possible, but very expensive 

option six: should be a damn good one and is very noisy

You will have to use petroleum jelly or liquid electrical tape to insulate your PCBs. also inside your socket, in your dimm slots and pci-e slots will have to be insulated with vasiline too. everything, under the heatsinks and use a heatgun to melt the vasiline down into the phases. It's going to be a mess.

 

If you don't cover it with clay, vasiline or anything your rig will not last more than a day or two.
