Gabkicks · 11-20-2009, 07:47 AM

got OCZ Mod extreme 780 watt modular power supply, some IC Diamond 7 TIM, and an antec 1200 case for my new system.

MaximusExtreme · 11-20-2009, 07:59 AM

must is a cable managment. other than that is cool looking Gabkicks

PP Mguire · 11-20-2009, 08:16 AM

The PSU died at first. I dunno if it took anything with it. Then I decieded to disassemble the rig, to clean the water loop. Then I assembled it again. One hose wasn't entirely secured on a fitting, so it leaked. The thing is, I noticed the leak when the water was dripping on the floor and there was a fricken puddle on the mainboard. I let it dry for almost two days, but I suspect the water ran under the NB coolers and all. Also, the leak was at the outlet of the GPU block, and the water ran between the block and the card. Soo thats why I guess the card is dead aswell. I hope its just the mainboard, if it was also one of the cards yeah well okay, I can take it... but if everything is dead I have a problem.

Sounds like a punch in the face m8

i also wanted to do some mod´s on the case again, so i need to tear things apart.
U made me scared

A kick in the nuts rather...

If I had kept a constant eye on everything and observed the loop more carefully, that leak wouldn't have happened, so its my own fault. What bothers me most it that it happened exactly in a period where money is short.

PSU mod would be good here, get hold of a 114mm hole saw and drill the bottom of the case, will give you 120mm hole so you can flip the PSU and sort your cables out much easier.

That´s like an unwriten rule:

Shit mostly happens when money ist short

phanbuey · 11-20-2009, 02:50 PM

yep... my car's transmission went as soon as I had graduated school, spent all my loan money, and was looking for a job.

boom... fork broke and a piece of it basically tore up the inside of the trans :/. $3k...

That Murphy, mo$&#$&%ker was smrat.

That sucks about the rig though, rebuild are dangerous in that sense. Theyre still fun as hell though...

Well I had fun building the second rebuild, becasue that went rather smooth. Except the pump makes noises it shouldn't. But thats an easy fix.

as long as you used distilled, and no water entered a memory slot, your board should live.
dont know whats with you vga though, but i believe my hd4850 even lived 20 seconds with shorted transitors around the die (silver paste -.-). if the parts are dead, clean them, but be careful to not remove any stamp marks, on the vga. then RMA them.;-)

I used distilled water. BUT I don't know where it went. It was around the battery, it went under the NB coolers, around the CPU area, and I'm not sure if it went into the slots. I try another time if its alive after all.

Um, the stamp marks are gone, remember, I have put waterblocks on the card, that requires you to remove those "do not remove"-stickers

dry it for 48 hours, maybe even put it in the oven at low degrees, or heat it up with a hairblower. if it doesnt work then, as long its visually undamaged (no exploded circuitry,or burnt spots) it should be rma-able. its a board, it got no "sticker"

regarding the VGA:
i transplanted my stickers to a piece of thick plastic foil, with a sharp scalpel. so i CAN rma it,if i have bad luck one day

luckily, not all manufactureres have such stickers.

i hope that things will work out for you. ive seen a vid, where someone proof-spilled 200-300 ml of distilled on the board,on the NB, on the mosfets, in the cpu fan, during 3dmark06, and the shit not even reacted to it, ran 3dmark06 like before, board stopped to respond only, as he dropped like 10 ml in the ram slots.that was fatal. you feel a little better now? i did, when i saw that!

Yeah thanks, made me a bit more optimistic. I let the board alone for some days now, and test it later. Having a functional rig is top priority now, no time for waiting a few days

phanbuey · 11-20-2009, 05:21 PM

actually ive spilled a ton of anitfreeze on my cards... that sh** took a week to dry properly... the cars ran when wet but the vram couldnt go above 1000 lol

now theyre fine though
