well i guess water cooling isn't for everyone

and the 24 hour leak test doesn'y mean crap, but i found that out the hard way,

running the the entire week without problems, woke up saturday, turn some mp3's on, a few minutes later monitor went off, so i thought that was just the power saving thing, went to move the mouse and nothing restarted and got 3 beeps i look down at my video card, and what do i see? a nice droplet of water hangning of my NB block


the card had some greenish corrosion on the part the water was on, so it might have leaked for a few hours, but my vid card has a black (burnt) trace now and wont boot with it in the computer
just hope my AGP slot is fine i've got a spare card

crap, i just got the video card not long ago radeon 8500 64mb, not the newest but it was one of a kind, for those the now about the radeons, this one came clocked at 275/300 (default is 275/275) with 3.3ns and went upto 305/345 with out v-mod before i was artifacts.
