As promised here is my little setup.

Here is what is left of my Hi Speed PC tech station.

I have drilled various holes for various platforms. I hammered mobo standoffs into the holes.

I have a full mobo length sheet of closed cell foam or whatever it is called.

Use plenty of eraser on both the front and back of mobo. Like I said I use it from the 1st RAM socket to the mosfets and from the top of the mobo to the north bridge. On the back side I would at least do it where the socket is if not from the 1st RAM socket to the mosfets and from the top of the mobo to the north bridge. Try to stuff a blue shop towel in the 1st RAM socket.

A 1/2" and a 1/4" works perfect for in-between the pot and socket.

Underneath the foam pieces you will need some blue shop towels, which I don't enough of at the moment or else I would use it. I cut it to the same size as the foam piece in pic.

Mount pot and then I fold two blue shop towels in half and wrap the pot holding them on with two rubber bands.

That is how I do it now but I am sure it will be tweaked, twisted and change of the course of my overclocking career as I am always looking for bigger and better ways of doing things. Really thinking of going the vaseline route as I am tired of eraser. Hope this helps.

Graingers. My Lowes and Home Depot don't. You should have a Graingers somewhere close to you or at least I hope so.

They are pretty cheap on the stuff you need especially if you have one locally and can avoid shipping cost.

There are other alternatives as well.

Neoprene work?

Some neoprene can work as I have had some that worked just fine but the last stuff I bought turned out to be too hard. I am sure I bought the wrong stuff. I know the link that I posted is right up the alley that you want.

theres one in town but idk about that 4ft lol

My Home Depot and Lowes are useless. Orchard Supply Hardware opened up here about a year ago and they have a pretty good selection of neoprene.
