Now, that's one way of approaching the concept...

Hi everyone, 
 
A week ago I found some cheap SP120s online and decided that I need to upgrade the lightning in both my room and for my PC to avoid going crazy as the lockdown continues here in the UK. I decided to replace two exhaust fans at the back of my NZXT h510 and two radiator-mounted intake fans at the front with the SP120s that I just bought. After finishing the installation, my PC would turn off after couple of minutes / some times seconds of being on and in the course of troubleshooting, I noticed that the temperatures were rising to the point where they kept triggering the overheating protection n the CPU (84 degrees), so I kept playing around with the pump connection (originally CPU_FAN, then PUMP_FAN) and nothing helped. The PC kept turning off and I assumed that either the pump stopped working or I damaged the AIO as I was installing the new fans with the pump still being mounted on the CPU (I was really careful, though as I am not comfortable with manhandling the parts). Either way, after a day of researching my options for the replacement, my new AIO arrived yesterday, so it was time to take the old ML240L off the CPU and this is what I saw:  
 
 

 
Now, ML240L had been the first AIO that I've ever had and I am not quite sure if this failure would be from my poor skill at handling the replacement of the fans or whether this looks more like a manufacturer's error. My impression from what it looks and feels like is that, the pump has been leaking for quite some time. But I only experienced the temp protection issue on Monday. The CPU temps on that AIO have never been particularly great and I did not really monitor them regularly (beyond occasionally checking them out in Dragon Centra) - usually 45+ on idle. My workload over the past couple of months have not been that high either as I am currently writing my PhD and can't really spend that much time in AAA titles, so really hard for me to pinpoint when this could have happened. 
 
I guess the main questions for you guys are: 
 
Can you see a clear  point of failure on these pictures?  Does this look like something that has been going on for some time or would you expect that copper piece to look like that after three days of being exposed to the coolant?  How is it possible that this 'gunk' didn't short my motherboard and destroy the CPU? Just to confirm - the PC is now working fine, the new AIO is performing much better already but I wanted to know if this looks like something I've done or is it the manufacturer's fault. I would like to avoid potentially destroying another AIO by touching it inappropriately...

Reminds me of the movie surrogates

Haha, sucks for you guys. 1080 Fanboy Edition only cost $855 here and my 33c climate will definitely show the true potential of that cooler.

Are you crazy? How fucking spoiled you North Americans are! That card will be around 600 GBP here in the UK, which is nearly 900 USD and 1200 CAD .... Srsly?

Now keep in mind though that some times stuff just sells for ridiculous prices to someone who doesn't know better

Where's Intel in all of this?

Now, that's one way of approaching the concept...

I think the reverse of this would be cooler.
Putting a PC inside of a PS4. 

That looks horrible.

I was expecting 4790K performance but 5960X? hard to believe honestly

good news if it does. that means industry is getting a serious shove. 

Fox would sue Disney/Marvel....

stll finally a new gpu atleast too bad for me I literally just bought my new GTX 950 yesterday so I'm both happy and sad

To be fair, I'm still happy with my Titan X because it is still the graphics card with 12GB VRAM and fits all my possible requirements! Hahaha, Also the sweet side, it also makes my friends jealous. 

It's possible if it really looks like the trailer, but I doubt it. 

Oh, gosh! Guys, I am so happy with my GF 980 that I bought couple of weeks ago at a discounted price from Overclockers.co.uk!
 
This card is great I was able to play Stronghol: Crusader HD at max details!
 
I am so amazed with how well it performs at 1080p gaming - definitely a good grab, especially now, with all the 9xx cards being so cheap!
 
Also, I don't think I would be happy with buying AMD cards to the same extent as I am happy with my GeForce 980 - it's without comparison.
 
Still, 50 seperate identities, 5 posts an hour, well established presence within the community? They'de have to pay me $20 an hour to even consider that... Also, I am pretty sure this is illegal - if 'influences' have to disclose the fact that a piece of content they produced was sponsored, I think they could qualify despite having a smaller 'audience'.

If you regret purchasing two 980's, don't repeat that process with the 1080's.

I've had so much fun checking out eBay over the past couple of weeks.. .
 
I guess, it will be even more itneresting now that benchmarks are out
 
Oh joy, pure, pure joy!

Now, that's the review I wanted to see first
