if ur using dry ice? why worry bout condensation dry ice turns from solid to gas without liquid form its frozen co2

[petercort42]

@xxmrcoolbluexx it's not the actual dry ice sublimating, it's because the processor is so hot, and the air surrounding the dry ice pot so cool that you run the risk of condensation in the actual processor socket.

where did u get the copper pipe and end cap from??

[petercort42]

@josho1989 I got it from a plumber in the area who had scrap copper and it happened to have an end cap. You can get the end caps for cheap at any hardware store and the copper pipe you might have to source online or from a specialty shop. Home Depot and Lowe's didn't have anything with the diamater I was looking for.
