vapochill maintainance?

Install wise its not that bad, about as hard as installing a tower heatsink


and there isnt much upkeep, just making sure its running is about all you have to do (ie, that it doesnt just one day die on u)
 
make sure you use a alot of white greese that comes in the kit when you attach the evaportor to the cpu. i believe the manuel reccomend use the whole tube each time you change cpu to avoid any condensation. also make sure that the foam you use has plenty of greese between the layers of foam. i also recomend using a piece of thin 1/16-1/8" thick foam to insulate the heater from the pins on the backside of the motherboard to avoid piercing the plastic on the heater with the pins from the cpu socket. take your time when you install it an d make sure you follow the instructions. i would also advise doing some research on all forms of cooling and decieding which one works best for your needs. if you needs include pushing your system to its absolute limits, then phase change can give awesome results.
