When Watercooling fails...

Ok, I know the title is a little off, but oh well!

Anywho today I left for work like normal, computer still huming alone, well I came home from work at 5pm PST (my time) and noticed my comp was off. Thought to myself, boy thats odd. So I looked at the floor next to my case, and what do you know, my Watercooling tubing come undone! Granted I was using a piece of copper to bridge to piece's together held in place with heavy duty zipties. (I know, dont flame) Well I thought I was jacked cause of water all over the case, well I checked it out and all was good! Thank god! All that happened was the water shot off on to the floor, thank god it was the pumping end, well I learned my lesson on this one, and took myself to the home depot to get more hose clamps! Thank god I had set the BIOS to shut off the comp when it reach's 60c. it was off from about 12pm to 5:30pm PST.

I have included some pics to show you what it looked like when I got home.

Osirus,

At least everything is ok. I like learning experiences where things are a little messy but not messed up!!!

What kind of temps are you getting with that setup? I have a 3.2E oced to 3.9 so far and I think I am limited by temps.

Well currently as of this writing, Im getting 32c, with Alcohol 120% running, 6 browsers under Firefox, my email, and Napster running. thats with about 25% load. On full load, ill hit 42c.

off topic you have one of those cheape comp desks from walley world? Think I have the same one as you hehe

Glad you didn't fry everything. Hose Clamps

I was off by 2 hose clamps, needless to say, I got like 25 of them or so from Home Depot!

Yeah thats the desk from wally world. Works great,and looks great in my room.

I like it also, i can fit my 2 comps and laptop on it when needed, and fits 2 19 inch mon with plenty of room to spare (should have gotten 21s but they are so dam big...)
