Ok what is the right way of preventing condensation?

Some people told me was to stick as much de-electric grease into the socket until it overflows and add neoprene around the socket.

Then there is the Dow Corning(silicon) around the socket and the de-electric grease+neoprene.

Whats the right way? And is there a site for it?
 
Thanks but ive seen those and i need one for a p4 not a amd or a old school p3 with pins on the back side of the mobo.
 
I'm not so sure what you mean by that. The P4 has a soccet just like the XP and the PIII. The only difference is that there is a big heatsink attachment thing on the P4. Most people who are worrying about condensation have ripped off the heatsink attachment to get at the mounting holes long ago.

Why are you worrying about condensation, what are you cooling it with and how is it attached?
