I decided today to put my H50 in a bucket of ice and see what happens. Well, the temps dropped down to ~10c and windows started at 4.2ghz. I started to run a benchmark but it BOSD and i looked over to see the following and decided to put this little experiment off until winter time....
I also decided that the best way to dry it was to keep the res outside of the case and get it really hot so the water would evaporate.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting some dice. I wonder if it would still condensate?

Yes it will dude. The coldness of the tubs/rad/block makes the moisture in the atmosphere condensate. If you wanna try it properly, I recommend wraping the tubes in some cloth or some sort of foam.. and put some paper towels on your GFX Card, as one drop of condensation will kill your card.

Try keep the fluid at about 14 degrees. I think that is when condensation will start to appear (around 13)

ima make a teeeny tiny little suggestion. same setup, but fill the cup with cold water & ice. the water will couple the heat fins on the radiator to the ice, and as the ice melts drain off the extra water and add more ice.
good luck! Dont leave it unattended!!!
