We all know there is some ''noise'' in our computer systems. Iron / Ferrite coil chokes are preventing this to happen at their utmost capabilities, but sometimes (as it has been explained to me) if more of these coils are placed in near vicinity, they actually interfere with each other IF not properly packaged...
So let's take a look into the 90'-late 2004 - The coils were absolutely naked on an average mobo from almost every motherboard manufacturer, which wasn't the best solution for overclockers, thus the circuits could perform inappropriately, in worse cases fail with ugly consequences...So I have an idea (and an impression from Supermicro's mobos) - let's get them some clothes !!!
You may have caught a glimpse of these coils to have some plastic/rubber thing spinned around and over it, helping this to diminish the EMI...
So my point is: Can I make myself something like that for the naked ones? I guess it can help a bit to stabilize the circuitry, so why not to try it? Do I use some plastics or some liquid compund to cover them?
Thanks for your thoughts!!!
