Default New User Needs MoBo Insulating Info.

I am building a new system with a closed loop microprocessor-controlled PWM regulated TEC.

Barton 2500+ / Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Danger Den Maze 3, 220W TEC, Cube Radiator
Eheim 1048, 1/2" Plumbing

I need good resources for:

-Mobo insulating / coating info.
Can I spray the back of my MoBo w/ Lacquer?

-Maze 3 Surface area, water flow / pressure drop, or heat transfer figures.

Welcome to ProCooling!


This thread might be of some use... it maily deals with pelt cooling a GPU but the same principles will probably apply.

Thats about all I can recommend.

Thanks for the response -and the lead. I have read the thread and agree with the neoprene (if there are no unforseen electrical properties) but hesitate to jelly fill my system.

I have piddled with PCB circuits before and sprayed them with lacquer paint to protect them.

Anyone know if that would be appropriate to protect a Mobo from condensation?

I just wrote a review on the Swiftech TEC cooler which is posted over at SystemCooling.com. It covers the basics of insulating and the materials you might use.

Chillin' with the Swiftech MCW462-UHT TEC cooler

The Swifty kit comes with foam insulation but you can buy it from several of the online cooling stores. Good luck...

Thanks for all of the sound advice. Any insulating tips are good! I am reading your article now ...

also just ingested one at: http://www.benchtest.com

I found the link by digging through this forum (Many, Many Hours)

He has coated a Celeron adapter board with polyurethane wood protectant.

Anyony coated a Mobo with polyurethane?

RoboTech your article was informative, professional, and timely -Thank You. I did not even know acid free silicone existed. -Can it? I have dielectric grease for sealing sparkplug wires that I will use in the socket. -neoprene elsewhere.

Conformal coating is the key I have been searching for. I have seen the words here but thought about spray foam in my twisted mind. Radio Shack doesn't carry much these days for the circuit builder but mabye -just mabye...
