How much more condensation is going to form when the chiller starts pumping -30c coolant? Will I get frost?

Definately. Insulation is mandatory in my book!! Kals explanation is right on.

So I really just need to do the area around the cpu socket on both sides of the board unless going LN2 then. I'm concerned with my gpus getting all frosty as they are in the loop too. I'll probably have to insulate both sides of them huh?

Wow I am tempted to go back to air on them....the reference coolers work really well, but I have 3 with full cover blocks and it would be a sweet frosty mess when the other gets back from RMA.

Having them in there before the cpu will probably prevent me from reaching the coldest possible cpu temp huh.....maybe only a couple degrees off I hope. I wonder how much higher I will be able to clock my cpu @ -20c?
