Well, the wife turned up the clock on reflooring, new carpet, wallpaper removal, prep and painting all the rooms on the main floor as well as the sun room. So much for late winter projects like the external water cooler. I'll probably sell the pump and/or entire assembly to someone with more time on their hands as opposed to blisters. Curse that Home Improvement Network on cable TV.
Add to that, the fact that this mega-pump, after running all evening appears to have blown a pinhole leak in my GPU block, at a weak solder point and being mounted on the underside of my card went unnoticed. When I powered my system up, I was greeted by four black bars on my screen where image should have been. After soaking in anhydrous isopropyl alcohol and baking it, the bars persist. Close scrutiny under the Bausch & Lomb stereo microscope revealed nothing, so I must accept the fact that this "green devil" killed my $400 video card. For that, it deserves banishment (at cost) to some new home.
I'm limping along on my TI4200 for the time being.
Hoot
Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face...
