Yesterday i recieved my Northbridge maze4 block (completing my maze4 family). I couldnt wait to install it. i unplugged the tube from CPU > RES, Hooked up the previous RES end to the NB. Then the other NB fitting to the RES. I had some trouble getting the tubing over the barb so i just clamped it up tighly and let it sit for a bit. I turned the computer on to get on Final Fantasy XI. suddenly my screen turns to a big glitch and i see a big blot of water all over my case windows i fall off my chair to shut off the power to prevent any more damage. the tube was blown off the new block and all over my vid card and the bottom 1/2 of my mobo. i was about to cry and get ready to put all working equip for sale since i was sure alot of stuff died. i talked to some people from OC on AIM and AthlonMan and greenman helped alot. they told me about alcohol bathing everything. so i did and let everything dry under a fan overnight. go up today started cleaning up and putting together the dried parts...
My vid card booted into windows. And my mobo booted into bios. i felt that i have a chance that im lucky. just 30 minutes ago i finished PROPERLY had my father use all his strenth in putting the tubing COMPLETELY to the end of the fitting. (which i have extreme problems being able to do). clamped them harder than ever and here i am with tears of joy that NOTHING happened...
Moral of my story? TAKE YOUR TIME WITH WATERCOOLING!!!! cant get your tube all the way to the end of the fitting? TOUGH LUCK... find a body builder and pay him to do it!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT
