3 days ago my hubby would of sung the praises of water cooling system from the roof tops, now hes not so keen. 3 days ago he had a great water cooled computer, for the last 2 days hes had a plastic box with some expensive electrical decorations in it. he sprung a leak. he has used the zalman resorator system and had no problems with it whatsoever for over 3 years. he turned the computer on 2 days ago and a sorta fizzly pop noise (im not technical  ) followed by some extremely loud expletives were to be heard through out the house. after some exhaustive testing over the bathroom sink, its not the pastic tubing thast caused the problem, its the cpu cooling block its self that has leaked. unfortunatly its dripped over his graphics cards and a few other thigns.
if you do decide to go for water cooling please remember that although u will get great cooling and probably never have any problems with the system, there is still the small chance that something like this may happen. or look into one of the non conductive gels that are available to be used with these systems (thats his next plan). |
