At least be more gentle when being biased towards your lovely brand,you know...

Ohh.. I just threw up in my mouth a bit, lookin at that photo. Thankfully, its dry enough where I live to bench with no real prep and minimal coverage of anything really. Vas in the RAM and PCI-E is a must for going cold on everything, still.. but the amount of vas in that pic is insanity. I dont want to ever live/bench somewhere where the amount of humidity is high enough to warrant that..

yes it i gross.. but he is running 24/7 on cascade on that mount, only have to tip the board in the morning to get water off, then it's ready to go.. lol its great ;)

Just got down with the vas on the most recent Z77 OC Formula since there have been so many sessions with cold on the memory. Yes it is a bit messy at first the peace of mind of a condensation free session is totally worth it I think.

 

For just cpu, no need to go that hard if you live in a dry climate, but if the board is going to be benched cold on cpu, gpu and memory and is a permanent bench board then I don't think there is anything wrong with the vas treatment.

 

Also I don't think you need Hondacity style vas treatment with an inch tall layer of goo covering everything, just a thin layer and then melt it with the heat gun so it goes everywhere in those hard to reach spots.

ew, i just use silicone grease, and unlike vas it is really hard to remove. But I found away using a part of my insulation method I no longer use: the rubber eraser. It is VERY absorbent and absorbs the grease right up, and if you let it sit on a piece of paper or a napkin, after time I think the grease goes to it and you can reuse the eraser to erase the grease. I still don't have the balls to toss my motherboard into a dishwasher lol.

C'mon dude, don't be a troll ...

Toooo late. Gigabyte troll, it's part of a viral marketing campaign for Gigabyte's next addition to the G1 motherboard series. The Gigabyte G1 Troll. It randomly tells you that you could do a better job OCing if you added some MHz. In the BIOS it plays a badly recorded audio version of The Billy Goats Gruff.

hey is this the board coated or not coated? I am just curious, not trolling lol its the first full shot of the board I have seen.
