I've got a Phatty behind me waiting to be used and it won't unless I get my 5850 setup. That's where all of you come in.
I've got the pot, I've got eraser, and in-place of conformal, I'll be using clear nail-polish.
So to begin, I've read guides on conformal-ing motherboards, so I know components that have to make contact with a cooler need to be taped off (IE: The gpu die), but other than that, I've really no idea what needs to be left uncovered.
I don't plan on running anything like the tiny heatsinks on VRM of mosfets, but I will have a medium/strong pointed at it instead.
Anyway, here are the pictures:
Based on the contact points on the stock heatsink, I know that I will have the fan pointed at the power-end of the board.
