I'll start with what just happened to me
I went to install a new Tbred A 2000+ chip to replace my old Pally 1800+ and also installed my newest, home-made, dremel cut-out, WWclone water-block. When I had everything installed, connected and ready to go, I plugged in the PSU and hit the power button just to get a 2-tone, ambulance immitation, beep-code. First thought in my head: "damn guy on the classifieds ripped me off" (turns out I'm just an arse)
After reseating the RAM, GPU, and the CPU 3 or 4 times, I went to reseat the CPU one last time before I completely gave up, and what do I notice??? The top of my Radeon 9000pro 128Mb video card is slightly damp!!! Turns out the middle hose-barb wasn't as tight as it should have been. :
As I'm writing this, my mobo is sitting infront of a box fan, drying out from it's distilled water shower, then Isopropal rubdown.
I'll update on the success of this wash-down when I put it all back together and attempt another reinstall tomorrow afternoon.
Now let's hear some other horror/success stories about those leaks.
