well Arcturius this is what happened i did everything except put the foam behind the mainboard the tech at cpufx said that i didnt need to.

the tech at cpufx said that i didnt even really have to worry about condensation because my intel 1.7 makes so much heat that i didnt have to worry about condensation .

but after my rig was up and running my lowest temp @ idle was 15c

now they also told me to use rc5 so that my temp would not drop that low when my rig was idle.

and i did .

but when i would reboot and check my temp in the bios it showed 90c but my temprature bay said my cpu temp was 22c

so i opened the case and i found condendsation around the waterblock and in between the waterblock and hot side of peltier.

im useing the z3 water kit with the quad fan and dual pump , and i have the sec 1223 power supply.

for now i removed the 156 watt pelt from my rig until i can get more advise from pro's like your self .

question #1 is their anything that i can buy to spray on my mainboard.

question #2 the fastest i have ran my p-4 1.7 is 2040 mhz with just watercooling,
is it possible to o/c it to 2.1 mhz with the peltier@ 30c

question #3 how long can i let my rig run with a peltier and how long will it live with the little bit of condensation.

question #4 will their always be condensation if i use a pelt, and if so then i just need learn how to protect the mainboard and cpu and just dont worry about the condensation as long as the cpu and mainboard are protected.

and 5th ? i hope you can understand me .
