Well, after nearly 2 and a half years of watercooling, it has finally happened. I got a leak.
But no, this is not your ordinary leak. This is a major OMFGWTFBBQ leak.
You see, my pump failed to start up last night, causing my CPU to overheat. For some reason, the CPU got hot enough (before it was shutdown?) to WARP THE LUCITE TOP on my TDX.
I'd have pictures... but I only have my laptop to post on, and my phone is my only camera (phone software is on the desktop, no linux phone software available?), so no pictures. But damnitall, this is a shitty deal.
So, now I'm waiting on Danger Den to let me know if there is a universal brass top available (with socket A and 939 holes) so I can buy one of those, try out my mobo and proc to see if they work, and if they dont, find a AGP socket 939 motherboard (i have a 3000+ wenice sitting around, another project) cause I dont have cash for a new video card too.
And you know, I can't say that this was Murphey's doing... on almost all of my barbs I have no clamps (7/16 tube on 1/2 barbs) but that wasn't where the leak was.
Moral of the story? hooray brass tops.
