So, as some of you know I recent built a super nice rig with a phase change cooled 5960x in it. I did lots of reading and prep work to make aure I had everything insulated and done right.
After about 45 days of running with no issues I started having issues... blue screens, hard chrashean dead dimm slots etc... I tried several things but never could get it to normal, even at stock settings.
Today I finally had time to tear it down and this is what I saw.
I had heavily insulated with kneaded eraser on the front and back of the board, dielectric grease in the socketn with paper towels and armaflex over and around the socket front and back.
Im not complaining, becase I knew the risk going inn but it does suck to loose $1500 worth of equipment.
Be warned, stuff does happen!
