m1 condensation issue - any suggestions?

[wayland]

I've got a 2 year old prommie m1 (i think gt) that has been running faultlessly for over 2 years now with my lianli

(p4 3.2 overclocked to 3.6) running steady at -28 to -30 - tho bear in mind i do live in the Algarve so ambient temps in the summer (like now) are in the mid 30's.

but recently i've been having condensation issues from the elbow of the pipe where it bends coming up off the cpu before going down towards the prommy.

Water is collecting on the underside of the hose and dripped onto my gfx card frying it.

Before i replace with a decent gfx card is there anything i can do/check to prevent this happening again? Currently i've made up a small drip tray, but it seems odd that this has only just started to happen...

any ideas / suggestions anyone?

thanks

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like your insulation is dodgy. Get some armaflex.

Hey fatty I'm interested in finding some armaflex too, I'm stuck living in France. Any ideas where I could find it?

ps... Im just about to install my first mach II gt and I dont want to have any of these problems, so I was thinking of using armaflex from the start. Id hate to have condensation drip on my 7800's!

Thx for the help..

Therein lies the problem, i bought the prommy when i lived in the uk, i now live in the Algarve in Portugal.

The price of pc stuff is stupid expensive but the weather and the bikini clad talent more than make up for it
