awesome replies there kobuchi, thanks
great idea with the tape.
i was kind of worried about how its gonna look, but -20 degree temps makes up for it i guess *g*

im thinking some silicone bath sealant on the pipe, some closed cell pipe insulator stuff shoved onto there, and between where the ends of the pipe insulator meet, then tape it up...

basically use silicone between the waterblock/pipe, and the insulation to displace any air that might want to get trapped there... what do u think?

is there any way to tell beforehand if the silicone is going to eat my copper waterblocks or steel jubilee clips? someone said something about some sort of acid that comes from the silicone while it cures. they said something about it probably having that acid stuff if it smells really vile.

well, ive got this red coloured high temprature silicone RTV gasket sealant, for car radiators and stuff, which i use on my pipes between the copper and the PVC (which gets clamped with a jubilee clip) that stuff stinks bad, but (doesnt eat my waterblocks)

hehe
but basically ill need to drown my gfx card and probably mobo aswell, with some silicone sealant, and it obviously musnt eat stuff.
