External radiators + winter = condensation?
Is your block full cover on the GPU?
If it's a universal block, you can simply just insulate around the back of the GPU core, and around the block itself with foam.
Many people run water chillers 24/7 at sub ambient temps, they just use lots of foam & insulation to make sure nothing that can be damaged gets wet.
I myself have a 1080mm rad that USED to have a duct attached to it that brought fresh air in from outside, making my temps sub-ambient. Never had any issues with condensation, although I was only a few C colder than the room temp. IE: room temp 20c, idle temps ~15c.
Full cover, and that's what worries me most. I'm not sure if I could insolate the GPU. The CPU would be easy, but even that worries me little bit.
I'm going to wait until it's spring, get a water temperature sensor, and something I can measure the humidity with.
Maybe next year I'll get a thermostat.
