A buddy of mine bought a Vapochill case a couple of years ago and he managed to drill a hole into the copper freon lines so he pretty much left it sitting at his moms house for the past year.
Well Mom wants the thing gone and he called and asked if I wanted to get it and see if I can fix it, so of course I want it, so after a round of questions here is what I know.
He burnt 4 cpus and 2 motherboards with the thing, the unit was off and NOT running nor has it been turned on since he drilled a hole into the freon line, so my guess is compressor is fine, I just need to solder the hole and put a high pressure patch over the solder joint, blow out all of the lines so they are free from metal bits, fill the unit with freon and oil and it is good to go from there.
I do not know which model the unit is, but I did see where I can buy a 478 kit for the vaporchill, my main question is, will my Antec Truepower 430 handle the beast?
I will be running the unit with my 2.8E that is running at 3.5 air cooled.
