Water coolong

JackFrostyCPU · 19-July-03, 12:29 AM

I was looking into water cooling cuz it looks super sweet and seems to have the capabilites to back it up

But my biggest fear ( and the person paying for my rig mods) is what is the probabilty of it leaking???

Obviouly water in a computer can lead to a serious problem

So what i want to know is who has had this problem and what happened?

Leave it alone dood, you won't be ready untill you can pay for it yourself. Trust me on this one.

scapegoat · 19-July-03, 12:36 AM

Zen is right , my philosophy is that it you can afford to screw something up.. meaning you dont have the money to replace it , dont doo it LOL

Although water cooling has gotten vastly safer from the days of home built kits.... its still not fool proof

liquidcooler · 19-July-03, 05:03 AM

I've haven't had any leaks yet so I feel very comfortable with water cooling. My advice would be: do things well

ZENNZZO · 19-July-03, 07:19 AM

He is still on his mother and fathers' tax return..our point being not how safe the technology is but rather who is footing the bill vs. who would be building and maintaining the system.
Even a monkey would realize somthing was wrong with his computer if it sprung a leak...however he wouln't have the bananas to repair it or the damage that would result

Oooh oooh

I had big leaks (as most of you know) used distilled water! It's doesn't conduct as much so it won't short out stuff. Just let it dry over night and she is a s good as new!

ZENNZZO · 20-July-03, 02:01 AM

HE_P,
It's that "as much" that's got me giggling...How much do you think it takes to do these machines damage?
Check this out...And any wa wa Pimp worth his title will tell you:
"If you use water long enough you WILL have a spill, It has happened to everybody at one time or another to some degree or another! period" and it usually happens after you think you got it down pat....Word

1000Islamics · 20-July-03, 03:10 AM

Basically crap happens, I've never had a leak and as long as you set it up right yeah no big deal. I had to set up my system 4 times to get it right the first time. and Yeah I'll be honest I cracked a freaking cpu (sucks). So you know, it's just like anything else sh!t happens. You might spring a leak you might not. It's just as likely you'll mess something up. If you can live with that then go with it, but don't jump into this half-@ssed like a lot of people seem to be doing recently

ZENNZZO · 20-July-03, 03:17 AM

Yup my point exactly...and it ain't cheap!!
and to start off, learn to spell the technology correctly...
wad-r cling er lickwid cling er...er.....ya know!

HawkEye_Pierce · 20-July-03, 05:37 PM

If he uses distilled water he will have less to worry about. My mobo got soaked and she's still runnin ;-P

ZENNZZO · 20-July-03, 05:53 PM

d00d
how much was that Dr. bill?
The point is not wether or not you can survive a leak, but could you cry enough tears to replace the things that are going to get burnt if you don't know what the hell you're doing,ie drinking coolant etc.
We are here to give sound advise on a case per case basis and quite frankly at 21 posts, a major leak, and an ER bill, maybe you should rethink your position for giving water cooling advise and maybe take a little...just a thought dood!

HawkEye_Pierce · 20-July-03, 05:56 PM

well taken..but I still learned how fu*ckin stupid I am and I would like to share it

ZENNZZO · 20-July-03, 06:17 PM

NP there bro...but this is JackFrostyCPUs' thread on wether or not he should get into H20 cooling etc....not stoopid d00d, just a little inexperienced, your lesson was well learned I'm sure

BigAkita · 20-July-03, 06:29 PM

I have watercooled in several different rigs. Just about every one of them spewed some water out at one time or another. Usually, I came out OK. But I have had to replace a bit of equipment at other times.

If you use your rig 24/7 you will start dripping eventually. The trick is to be proactive with maintenance.

HawkEye_Pierce · 20-July-03, 06:34 PM

Yo Zennzzo how do you add a pic below ur posts whats it called an avitar? Lol now there's a n00b question

I made a nice one in photoshop. Lol I wish I had a video cam when I drank dat glycol my friend was literally rooling on the floor laughing

ZENNZZO · 20-July-03, 06:37 PM

after 50 posts, you can use a custom avitar and when you get there and I know you will look me up

HawkEye_Pierce · 20-July-03, 06:42 PM

I got a heater core from a Ford F-250 at autozone for $35. My dad reached for his belt when I asked him to take me. rofl I wonder why?

ZENNZZO · 20-July-03, 08:55 PM
