    and why is that important?

    He didnt try to hide it as far as I can tell. :)

     

    I'm not accusing him of hiding it at all - it just looks like an honest mistake. I'm new to overclocking so I browse the rankings a lot. This submission comes up as the top non-cold score. I think the filters for type of cooling are very useful but there are so many errors in there that it can be confusing :( At least he has a pic attached so you can figure out it's a mistake, sometimes I see results which are almost certainly not possible on air but there's no pic so there's no way of telling.

    Mobo bootloop after vaseline insulation

    in Extreme overclocking

    Posted

    ive had vaseline in the socket as well, but never had it stop it from booting, ive even put vaseline in the socket once with no booting issues, and being in australia you know the issue we have with colder temps aginst the ambient temp and the condensation that happens at times, maybe there was some condensation from the dice still lying around stopping it from booting, i use methylated spirits as is disipates moisture and dries pretty quickly and soft bristle brush to clean it off, it takes a little time but does dilute the vaseline and im careful to brush the pins if its an intel socket the way the pins lie as in some intel sockets they change their lie direction, once i can see the metho stay its clear appearance i use a heat gun to dry or it can be left in the direct sun for a few days to make sure its completely dry, i do the same method if no vaseline if i get condensation anywhere, now i use closed foam insulation pads cut to size for the socket and outer socket area and rarely have a condensation issue

     

    I kept the CPU in the socket while I was insulating it, I thought that should keep the vaseline out of the socket? I dried it overnight so it's I'm pretty sure it's the vaseline causing the issues rather than lingering condensation from the DICE session. I thought vaseline is nonconductive but maybe brushing all the way up to the 8-pin connector is problematic?
