GPU insulation?


Hello everyone, I just got my refridgeration system thingy up and running, but now I'm getting greedy, and I want to use the cold water to cool my GPU. What I'm wondering about, is, does anyone know how to, or know of a good guide on how to insulate a GPU? I have a pretty good idea of how to do it, but I'd just like to take a look at a guide to make sure I didn't leave anything out. If anyone knows how to do it, then please tell me, and I'll PM you or get in touch with you somehow. Thanks, any info would be very much appreciated, I don't want to kill my Geforce
By the way, I insulated my socket A board, and all, so I have a pretty good idea on how to do it, it's just that I want to make 110% sure before :I try anything.

If you are directly cooling the chip, I think your problem will lie with the cards immediately underneath your GPU. It would seem to me that any condensation that might form would drip down away from the card onto whichever card is under it.

Ive never seen a guide for that, but I would guess it not to be much different than a CPU.
