You were right! POS CPUFX pump died!
 

Well, tonight was the night my pump died. After a couple months of 24/7 use, the damn CPUFX POS pump died. I was in the middle of playing Anarchy Online, was in the middle of a mission in a fight, and wham, my system shutdown.

I immediately looked in my system through the window to see if anything funny happened, and noticed that the coolant in my hoses looked like it always did when it wasnt flowing (it looks kinda milky-like instead of clear-like green when it flows). Well, I turned my system back on, and the damn pump wouldnt start.

Yep, I was warned, and I'm here to warn anyone who ever considered using that POS, sorry excuse for a pump. JUST SAY NO! I guess I will never be buying their crap again.

It's a damn good thing MBM shut the system down though. This was a new CPU (I keeled the last one trying to unlock it). Well, I guess I will look into the smallest Iwaki pumps or something I can fit in a small res that is reliable.


Yep, I was warned.... What a POS :mad:

People still play Anarchy Online?

*gasp*

Thanks for coming out and saying what happened. I am glad your CPU wasn't a casualty.

There was a thread on the forum about a good DC pump a while back; maybe you can find a pump there. Even a Rio would be more reliable than those DC pumps CPUfx uses. Oh wait. You aren't using pure water? Don't expect a warranty (water wetter kills the OCH pumps after all).

ahahahahhahahahaahaahahaahaahahahahahahahaahaahaha ahaahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

told ya so :)

LOL. Brad, I knew that would be your response :) hehe, I was warned, but I'm a little hard-headed sometimes. Next time I will certainly listen when someone here issues a warning. The bad news was that I had ordered it before I got a reply to my first thread (just didn't admit it, and I'm impatient).

Well, I did like the anodized res (looked nice and was about the right size). I just hope I can find another pump that will fit in it so I can reuse it.

Oh, and Phae, you were right, No warranty because I used antifreeze for its anti-corrosion properties to keep my system from being F*ed up. LOL, what a joke. Well, you can't help it when people do something stupid and don't heed a warning.

Looks like I am joining the OCH hater club. What a piece of crap.

Why do they say that watter wetter kills the pump, is that tru, if just bs.

hehe, the res does look cool i'll admit.

ghog, cause everyone uses it, so they can void the warrenty of every pump, cause they know they will all fail

But how would they know you used it?

the smell

Soak that Effer in methanol for a day. I think Water Wetter is a synthetic oil. Ya , A little lubrication always kills a pump :P

You should know that we are never wrong... except for Brad... a lot..

Wahoo! anouther one bites the dust...
I am just waiting for my 145Gph one to die :)
