Why doesn't the frost form in the cpu/pcie sockets, or do we do something else for that?

Since your cpu is producing heat you probably wont get condensation or frost inside the cpu socket while it is running (with chilled water). Watch out if you are in a humid place or if you get colder. If you run the loop with the PC off you can get frost inside the cpu socket. With colder temps and you want to fill the cpu socket with dielectric grease. Use a low viscocity dielectric grease or you can bend pins seating the cpu. I learned that the hard way. Crazy PC has a low viscocity dielectric grease. The dielectric grease from NAPA auto is pretty viscous, so if you use that you need to heat it up with a heat gun before you try to seat the cpu. I gobbed dielectric grease all around the cpu socket and then covered that with carefully cut neoprene. Messy but effective. The grease comes off way easier than conformal coating.
