Default 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
