moisture is your only real concern since the screen will block debris.

Calgary 2, my dad just told me it was going to be -6 next Monday. seems plausible as it is calgary. none the less its going to get down to the negatives sooner or later.

dose moisture condensate on the coldest thing it can find?

edit: ya bye bye 20+ weather. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/fourteenday/caab0049 looks like it going to be under 16 next week and will steadly drop till a -30 Chinook shows up.

I was thinking, submerge this system in mineral oil and keep doing what he's doing, $100 vs. $400

ya getting waterblocks for my system would cost to much, and the mineral oil thing will be annoying/messy and no room to put it.

i remember doing it with my old system and i got -20c temps but i had an athlon x2 and 9600, and a ****ty mobo. now with this system maybe i can get my phenom to hit 3.6+ and my 4850x2 to hit 800/1150.
