I do agree with deanzo, grease in the pciex slot for subzero is almost not an option as it will easily fry the NB and possibly the card if you get any water in there. plus if you need to "clean up" the stuff a lil denatured alcohol and a very soft bristled toothbrush will usually get rid of it.... it takes time but hey, so does insulating the board..

Hell ask bill about when I cleaned up his 280

Well thanks for the heads up then. I got two pots I'm dying to use on my cards. I just need to get the vr's for the vmods first.

It's just thinner closed cell neoprene, there's a store here that sells every thicknes and texture you can imagine and it's costs so very little.

For the vga cards:
If using the Tek9 3.0 I use a soft 5mm piece, and if using the Tek9 4.0 a soft 3mm piece

Around the cpu socket, two 5mm or one 10mm gasket(s) made from a harder piece of closed cell neoprene.

I asure you it is, but it's a very soft and pliable kind, but not sticky.

A wee tip to stop air getting in, is just before I do the final mount, I put a lite coat of nail polish around the gpu core, so the gasket sticks to the PCB.
