How to stop condensation on the ML360 Sub-Zero in Metro?
This semi-conductor cooler is a beast, but the condensation is a total joke. While playing Metro Exodus, the cold plate got so chilly that in my humid room, water vapor started forming around the VRM area. The system panicked and throttled the clocks to prevent a short, tanking my FPS from 110 down to 70. I tried adding more case fans to blow the moisture away, but that just circulated the cold air faster and made the condensation worse—a truly stupid mistake that left me feeling defeated. I eventually went into the control software and bumped the minimum cold plate threshold from 0℃ up to 12℃, and cranked the rad fans to 1800 RPM. Monitoring showed CPU temps stabilizing at 55-62℃ with zero moisture buildup, and my FPS jumped back to a steady 110. It took about ten minutes for the loop to hit thermal equilibrium, but now it's rock solid. The pump pulls 120-150W, and the temps are incredibly low.
