Condensation control measures
The following instructions are crucial to long lasting & reliable operations. Do not skip these steps, and do not take
shortcuts. Permanent damage to your components is likely to occur otherwise.
Conformal coating application: This step will positively ensure that any micro condensation occurring on small
surface mount components will not corrode or short-circuit the VGA adapter.

Step 1
Step 2
Use two to three layers of masking tape to protect the memory
modules, the GPU, and any electrical connector.
Spray the area immediately surrounding the GPU.
Apply two to three light coats at 5 minute intervals.
Allow the lacquer to dry 15 minutes, and then
proceed to the next step.
Step 3
Spray the back of the board. Apply two to three light
coats at 5 minute intervals.
Allow the board to dry for 15 minutes (surface “dry
to the touch”), and then remove the masking tape.
In effect, it is preferable to remove the masking tape
before the lacquer is fully cured.
Clean off any glue residues from the masking tape
from the surface of the memory modules, GPU and
PCI connector using an electronics cleaning
solution, or a product such as Xylene, available in
most hardware stores.
Wait for the lacquer to be fully cured (at least 12
hours) before you proceed with the installation
of the MCW60-T cooler.
