Today I spent about 8 hours setting up my watercooling. I got the lengths of tubing, then set it up. First leak test, the bay-res was leaking. Had to thread tape the screws then re-install. second leak test, little drops comming from the same spot next to the valve, had to do same thing again. third leak test everything is ok so i put everything back in the case. I take the case back into my room, turn it on, loud siren sound coming from motherboard refusing to turn PC on (CPU Block contact to CPU i'm suspecting) So i decided just to put a heatsink back on the cpu and still have water going to the video card. Start up the computer, hear this loud popying noise then really bad smell. I can't figure out what it was but i'm thinking the floppy drive. Turn the computer on again, go into windows, the video card fails after running like 25 minutes : \. so now i'm trying to figure out what to do for tommarow
