[Grosjambon]

[ArchEnemy]

...ordered the 30 ship arrived the 12january

That's a long shipping time...

...Now I understand why you're so excited, :bday:

[Grosjambon]

i have the res mouting up just need to find a cutter to cut tube ...

[Grosjambon]

omg... the dtek fusion (nuts package is missing 2spring...):cry::cry:
anyone know where can i find some spring? maybe in a pencil?

[georanma]

Selling extra arms for rad dance pics....pst for more info = P

[BobbyBubblehead]

nah hes lying, bet hes got at least eight arms. bet hes using the other six to hold the three delivery men why he eats the postman.

[4GHZ_or_bust]

omg... the dtek fusion (nuts package is missing 2spring...):cry::cry:
anyone know where can i find some spring? maybe in a pencil?

If they are anything like the fuzion v1 I used to have, pencil won't have anything good enough. You could take the springs you got to a hardware store and see if they got anything in similar size and similar compression to work.

I know the cpu block is not on the good side... ill change it later lol.

[BobbyBubblehead]

got clamps?

[Grosjambon]

yea metal one that i found somewhere lol.
Stupid shipping didint ship my 6 sctyhe + my plastic clamps

[BobbyBubblehead]

cable ties for now?

[Grosjambon]

metal clamps.

[GIXXERGUY6]

metal clamps.

I 2nd that.

[BobbyBubblehead]

I see didnt understand you had found a few not just a single one :)

good stuff :salute:

[Grosjambon]

I found 10 and they are perfect made for 3/4 OD my tubing is 1/2 ID 3/4OD :) i feel lucky for this...

[jr1]

And i third it
I just tore down my system and i had a couple of the plastic ones on the rad that had been sitting on there for 4+ months and it had got hard enough to breake instead of just open up like it's supposed to
By the way the plastic ones was at the outside and at the bottom so no chanse of water leaking on any components in case of one of them breaking and started leaking

[georanma]

Ya dude, Id see about riding out some like metal clamps of some sort period. From everything Ive read, the plastic ones are bad news. I think you can get pre-painted ones online if you dont like the metal look. Im gonna just hold out for funds to do compression fittings in my case. Looks clean as hell. The worm clamps are beast though. My loop has them, but its just a bench rig. It runs pretty much 24/7 and has since like october, when I got it.

[Conumdrum]

:rain:No clamps. Turn it off till you get something. Please don't post you smoked something. We help all we can, but ya can't fix stoopid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stupid

Trying to make a point, take no offence, but....................

[BobbyBubblehead]

no he has got clamps hes found for the ones that didnt turn up.

what hes not got I think is english as a first language :)

je ne comprend pas conum :thup:

I think were safe and clamping up :)

[Conumdrum]

Okies, just wanted a strong punch in the arm, but if late and all is good I owe the fine man a pint and a wench. Thanks Bobby!

[Grosjambon]

lol... really funny bobby :)

[BobbyBubblehead]

#Laughs# Conum - Forrespondent... they call him that because no matter where your from you carnt understand him :D

carry on :salute:

[Grosjambon]

OMG I CALL A FU***G FLOOD...
THE FUKING DTEK WAS LEAKING FROM THE INSIDE OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG :cry:
God damniti inversed the sealing (plastic thing) so that made the leak.... I feeel badd for my component and my self lol

Please don't try to bypass swear filter again by misspelling it. I changed it to something that will pass this time, but I don't want to do it again!

Grim.

hope it wasnt running, if youve got it everywhere then you need to make sure its properly dry before you go making things worse.

[Grosjambon]

i know now doing with no rig in the computer and the dtek in big bottle if its leak again this thing will go in the garbage and i will use the Swiftech GT

Another bad news `:( when i was removing the tubing off the dtek the 2 clip of my ek res broken... those thing are ridiculously fragile.....

[BobbyBubblehead]

wheres the res broken?

didnt nail it to your case did you :sly: #Laughs#

other than one guy last year fracturing one at the top by screwing the end caps down too much maybe, Ive not noticed people complain about them.

got a 450ml myself... looks like you could beat someone to death with it :shrug:

[Grosjambon]

no the res is not broken its the plastic thing behind to hold the res that is broken :(
the thing to clip the res |-------| |---------|
this one
x2

[BobbyBubblehead]

oh yeah there crap :D

you can get metal ones and some of the other replacement plastic ones live longer than the EK`s

I got about four or five tries out my first bracket... woot!

four holes & some cable ties? (with yer easy mod case #Laughs#)

[Grosjambon]

okay :) gonna try it later now using hockey tape lol to hold the ek res and it is not looking good...

[Grosjambon]

Bobby do u have pic of it? so i can have a better idea of what you have done

[Grosjambon]

Yea nothing is leaking but the my pumps is doing hell of a noise....after 1minute of running is that normal that i ddidint had to refill the res after running the pump? they are still 3/4 of water in the ek res 250ml

[BobbyBubblehead]

I did something different it was just a thought.
79656


I mean just stick 4 small holes in the right place and you can strap it to the case throught the back erm... board.

Roar I was talking about these they are broken...i will try to glue them lol...

[BobbyBubblehead]

well unless the glue is an epoxy that physically melts the plastic then it wont work :)

[Grosjambon]

I might have that thing somewhere in my work station lol ( ican find anything there lol)

[Grosjambon]

Nothing was On but it only... flooded over my gtx 280 :( i hadl ike 6'' of paper towels there and it was still flooding over it :(

[BobbyBubblehead]

well you could have some in the pcie slots two then.

lots of fins, fan motors and chips to get water in/under in that type of card.

you need two make very sure its all dry.

myself I would either point a household fan at the board and stuff over night and stick the card somewhere warm.

Actually I would take the card apart and put some better thermal compound on it but in your case `Captain Chaos` :) I would slow down a little and try to screw less up #Chuckles#

you dont rush PCing it just protest back at you 79660 wipe on wipe off Daniel son.... or in your case spray on wipe off #LAughs# 79661 <--- I love this one

[Grosjambon]

Yup, I will not run my computer for 1total days.
Compressor used on the Graphic card

[BobbyBubblehead]

like it compressor on your GPU.... bet its quieter than that stock fan #Chuckles#

I think you misspelled Fusion by some way in that post you got a little upset on... still the irony involed now is peakin for me #Laughs#

[georanma]

Rough times man. Thats why I leak tested away from my components for 48 hours before I was satisfied with my loop. Hopefully, your parts are ok. My desktop survivied a bud light dropping on top where the mesh is on the haf.

[Grosjambon]

Ok. Just to let u know i am not rushing anything i am posting this from my 2nd computer (not the watercooled one) now im running it for more than 2hours and no leak. ( ifirst tested the cpu block in a big bottle) Filled the res - runned the pump --- refilled the res --- runned the pump again and no leaks. So i decided to put TIM + puting it on my motherboard some paper towels below cpu block and it's been running for 3-4hours without any leaks.Motherboard is not running --- no graphic card installed yet ---
Graphic card is near of a hot spot.
Hmmm yea a pic.
Here is how I did Attemps number 2. The dangerous cpu block in the bottle lol
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt353/Grosjambon/P1000319.jpg

Secondly anyone can tell me which speed is it?
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt353/Grosjambon/P1000321.jpg

[jr1]

that looks like 1,5 to me

[dyckah]

no thats in between 4, and 5.
you can still see part of the outline of the arrow

[Spawn-Inc]

it's at about 4.7 :)

you can see the outline of the arrow on the pump within the black triangle i drew over it.

I'm a Conumdrum. Spelled wrong but a fun fun word.

We almost decided on Expondant. Expert correspondant. I liked it better but didn't want to bug IMOG any more. And me an expert? Not there yet. Cya in 2015 then maybe.

[Grosjambon]

Actually I would take the card apart and put some better thermal compound on it but in your case `Captain Chaos` :) I would slow down a little and try to screw less up #Chuckles#



I dont have anymore tim :(all used on the cpu and i was still missing some. I might order some to come with my scythe....

[BobbyBubblehead]

think theres a possability you would need some thermal pads for the ram chips and stuff aswell.

only took them apart and replaced with water blocks on that style cooler.

maybe put a post in the Nvidia GPU section and ask if you need thermal pads/what thickness etc.

[Grosjambon]

uPDATE
Booted the comp with my m3n-ht deluxe and my old 7900 GT and... i see nothing on my screen. the screen is not booting up.I did an cmos reset. Before booting with my new phenom II 955 i did a bios update so that shouldnt be the prob. :(
The Computer is not doing any beep everything is booting but no beep

[BobbyBubblehead]

well pull the battery & clear it why you have a look at the connections.

just have a good look at it all make sure its ok.

seems quite soon after your dunk test... could be water in the slots and plugs etc

[Grosjambon]

I did the **dunk test** at around 15:00-16:00 yesterday so it almost a full days that it is sitting there
right after the leak. I used the compressor to put all water out of all pci-e slot and other stuff :(

[BobbyBubblehead]

its more likely something daft from you disturbing it.

you need to play the elimination game.

try pulling all the ram and see if it gives out a beep code?

and try it without the gpu.

make sure theres no usb sticks or devices you dont need plugged in.

my MB always has bios fun and trouble clearing after a bad clocking fail.

it wasnt on when you flooded it and its dry now so im guessing its something from disturbing all the parts.

[Grosjambon]

okay. :) for now im gonna try with my old 6000+ see if its work. if not ill do elimination game i already remove hard drive / cd drive

[Grosjambon]

Ok tryed with the 6000+ no beep at all.
I removed all ram stick to see if any beep. No beep at all
So i might think that the motherboard is just dead.

[Grosjambon]

After trying thousand of methods to make it fix i finaly decided to make an **excuse that my mobo was broke** and went to the shop where i bought it and try to get the warranty over it :) Hopefully it will work :)

[BobbyBubblehead]

not sure whats gone off there :shrug:

if it was new dust free and dry before you tried to run it then something else has gone off.

flexed it too much in your homebrew case maybe?

maybe some grounding point issue with it being a wooden case?

psu rails down but not all?

I can guess all day from this distance :)

[Grosjambon]

I tryed with my other psu. Wood is not conductive didint it?
Now running old gear in my old case it's really really small... lol
M2n-e - 6000+ 9600GT 5GIG ram.

[BobbyBubblehead]

nope its not conductive as you say.

just in a metal case if something goes wrong sometimes the stray volts can find its way to ground in your case... if your case doesnt conduct then its got to find another way e.g. through some bit of hardware and cables.

just wondering if you could have killed it somehow when you flooded it out.

my friends had one machine in the uk took it to BG and upon turning the europlug the other way round the earth wasnt connected.... computer was running fine but the case was live with 220V running through it (he found out the painful way, #heh he hee#)

[Grosjambon]

lol It might be a shock for him :)
Hopefully that **tech** from the place are going to say it is defective and warranty it or they will **repair it** but i dont think so because i tryed everyway it was possible to boot the comp...

[BobbyBubblehead]

theyll test it and look for signs of if its been in the hands of a "plonker"

but if its duff then theres nothing they can do for it... apart from put it back in its anti static body bag and ship it back to its maker.

(as for my friend he clearly needs new & safer electrics)

[Grosjambon]

Update :
Fan are getting shipped tomorow yay ;)
Still need news about the mobo warranty.

[Grosjambon]

Fan arrived woot still no news about my motherboard...

[BobbyBubblehead]

good stuff :clap:

good luck :salute:

dont break this one... steady #Laughs#

my mates I7 just gave up like yours and hes sat waiting for his rma.

sometimes its just a few days and pop... something fails.

[Grosjambon]

Yup, This time no leaks will happen :) Next thing is to test out my gtx 280 if its dead... or not since most of the water went on it most like 3week and a half that is sitting there in the antistatic bag w8 to play crysis :)

Edit : only place in my system that leak can kill people :shock::shock: is the cpu block. otherwise it will just leak on the wood... and who care... its only WOOD

[Grosjambon]

O_O Some Question there and there... I was wondering how to I screw my Fan on the rad? what kind of screw i have to use?
How can I do some cable management with my fan wire? i am using those included with my Scythe 3pin to a 4pin and it split with a 3pin + 4pin female + 4pin female :( that make too much muhc much wire...

Edit : taking some pic right now

[Spawn-Inc]

Koolance 3 pin splitter(4 to 1) (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23440)



as for screws, the swiftech mcr series uses 6-32 size. for length 1 1/4" screws work perfectly for a 25mm fan AND a standard wire grill. but always check so you don't puncture the rad.
