Any tips for LGA775 pelt action?

[JN]

I'm gonna take the plunge and give some peltier action a go. I've already looked thru PV's guide here but how does application of the dielectric grease differ on an LGA775 platform? Anybody got a guide I could read?

Also is Silicon and conformal coating really required? Everywhere i've looked so far only seems to stock the dielectric grease.

From what I've seen you don't need to cake an LGA775 socket with grease. I'll have more info on this when my Vapo comes, but so far from the research I've done I haven't seen much in the way of greasing the socket. With a pelt you might be more at risk for condensation than phase however since you'll be teetering closer to the frozen/unfrozen border.

If you just take roughly the same precautions you would for a phase unit you should be ok. XS has loads on this...
