So my setup leaked.

[Evostatic343]

i was at school and i cam home and nearly punched a whole through the drywall.

[Thunderjolt]

That sucks man. You know how it happened?

[Grape Guild]

That's why I haven't gotten my feet wet (pun intended) with water cooling.  That epitomizes my phobia.

[Suika]

It's this kind of stuff that completely pulls me away from water cooling, not to mention my lack of knowledge in overclocks.

[Evostatic343]

That sucks man. You know how it happened?

it came from my cpu block so im taking a closer look at it.

[SAV1OUR]

dose the 5 year warranty they comes with the sabertooth cover it? 

[OmanGS]

Ack, sorry to hear, mate. Hopefully everything is good in the end. Was it a bad seal on the CPU block?

[Swegly]

Custom loop or was it a faulty close loop?

[Skylark]

That sucks dude I feel for you.

 

I would let it try completely and if it doesnt boot RMA that sucker, dont mention that you drowned in though

[Cwazywazy]

Let's hope the rice can fix it. I have one of those closed loop CPU coolers that have a much smaller chance of leaking. (Got a great deal, 40 bucks for a brand new Kuhler 620.)

[flibberdipper]

Ewww, good luck.

They might be swinging this at him, but I hope that it works and/or that Asus has a heart for his situation.

 

1. Warranty invalid if damaged/dysfunction caused by improper handling/usage, destruction;

so i was using distilled water. and i stopped the leak then i tried to boot. it would go on for like 4 secs then shut down, then on and off again, and so on. my gpu is in the rice aswell the water got into my pcie slots. FML

[xrex64]

I think the big question is... was it on when it leaked??

Im not the most knowledgeable in water cooling, why is it in rice?

Rice tends to suck up moisture like a sponge.

Rice tends to suck up moisture like a sponge.

Even better I think

[hehehehhehehehe]

Rice absorbs the moisture from the components..

Noooooooo! Why not into the rice immediately?

 

Ideally everything that may have been hit should be totally surrounded by rice for a few days as quickly as possible.

few reasons why i don't use Dye's in the liquid, had a friends who system leaked and it stained the metal in the case.

also if you use the specialist liquid you buy from Computer liquid cooling companies, it wont short out your system, its none conductive stuff.

[Ryan Leech]

Don't tell me you tried to turn it on while it was wet.

[flibberdipper]

oh, thats cool, I never knew that

See? Ya really do learn something every day. Maybe that saying isn't a complete crock of crap.

[Evostatic343]

not all the water leaked but yest it was on
