Default Possible Anti-Condensation gels...

I just got my 85W pelt in the mail and my cold plate to freeze my Radeon 9700. I am in the "Experimental" phase of this project and am looking for a quick method of preventing condensation from DAMAGING my board.

I heard that I could use petrolium jelly to prevent the condensation from making contact with the electrical circutry....
Is this true? If not, is there some other type of gel that I could use.

My initial idea is to coat the inside of the chip "housing" with a thin layer of gel, coat the general proximity of the board around the chip, and coat the back side and surrounding area of the board.

This will NOT be a permanent solution; just one for maybe an hour or two of testing to find out what kind of core clocks that I can get and then look into getting the proper insulation.

Thanks for the replys in advance.

Please remember that I am relatively new to the pelt department
