ABIT AW9D-MAX Insulation

[hipro5]

Here I'll upload pictures and details of how to insulate a mobo....
The mobo I'll insulate for now is ABIT AW9D-MAX and the photos/details will be needed as a small insulation guide for new guys who want to come into subzero world...

Starting I have unsoldered ALL capacitors and chokes(coils) from the mobo which are around the socket 775 so as to make more "space" for insulation.........
Of course don't do that cuz it's a bit difficult......
In case that some one is interested about this as well, simply you NEED HIGH soldering temperature (over 450*C) so as to unsolder them....

Here's a shot of the socket 775 and the space we now have around it....



OK.....You'll say: "Now that we have unsoldered the chokes and the capacitors, dosn't mobo needs them so as to work?"
Yes we need them and we re-solder them back......BUT......in the back of our mobo.......



....by doing this we have space for PROPER insulation around our socket in case of subzero temps......
