TURN & BURN · 05-21-12, 05:19 PM

Liquid Tape is what I will use complete back of the board but on the front? see pick.

Do I go from white line foward? please add to thread and if you have picks even better!

lookng for the best way to protect the card under LN2.

OK so far here is where I'm at

Have to see what I can do as I stopped at the caps, maybe I can tape off the VRM's and get to there.

Try a dry fit before you do anything.
There is a large gap between my fat and the core.
Otherwise you are going to have a few mm of paste in there and not get good temps.

A good thing you mentioned the SPACE

About 3 to 4 pc. of papper gap! something to consider now, Moocow what did you use to SHIM it with?

I know a bad view will try to get a better one head on to see the gap better

I'm thinking Mickey Givering it with aluminum foil a few folds and it is soft to compress with great transfer of heat/cold.

A small square of 20 gauge copper sheeting, just over the core, would work wonders. At -100C, you're going to want copper there to transfer heat.

Is this a tried method? and where will I aquire it?

Also for anyone that needs to know for LN2 on these I think there should have been a thread somewhere on it but havent seem anything!

Thanks
