I need someone to either tell me how to put two pelts on my cpu using a water cooling system, or to tell me where I can go to get help (a tutorial or article or something). I want to use "The Reactor" waterblock, but I need to know if I can use dual pelts on it. If I can't I also need to know what the best waterblock would be to use for a dual pelt system. I'd like to get some detailed pics, skematics, or examples on how to insulate and setup this type of system to help me make sure that I don't screw it up and ruin my cpu or components.

In an earlier thread (I think it's "Radiators, pumps, waterblocks - Oh my!") colin gave me a link to a thread that he started about using dual pelts which was great and he also explained it to me with a few pics, but I didn't really get fully what to do (I'm talking about insulating the cpu with neoprene and some kind of insulation gel or something). He was explaining how to protect the electronics in sub-zero environments. But his was a little to brief and I don't feel comfortable following his example since some things were a little unclear to me. (no offence to colin, thanx a lot for the help:D )

If someone could elaborate or point me in the direction of an excellent tutorial-like article that would be really awesome.

I believe there is a good tutorial at ProCooling. I find there choice of conformal coat materials to be expensive and hard to obtain if you don't live near a large electronics supply house. They also take a long time to cure. If you have any specific questions, just ask.
