OK if you read my past posts I had some problems with condensation. I threw my fans back in because I can't risk my parts. (still looking for that summer job) I was running a chiller mod with the water at -20c in the mini fridge. Needless to say condensation was trying. after a little while running it I say condensation comming through the insulation folds here:
down near the bottem. So lets take a look at the water block:
So I put insulation tape allover the block and got this:
and on the bottom:
. I also noted that the metal hose clamps that are only touching the insulation tape also began to sweat (why). The socket was fully siliconed and stuff but here is a picture for reference :
And here is a picture of the hoses going to the fridge:
So any thoughts on how to stop this vicious condensation? Why was the tape letting condensation through? I have heard from some people to just coat the board is silicone. I am gona stick with air for now but I need to know where the flaws in my design are.
