Cooked Motherboard

TheDanMan · 07-14-2003, 10:22 AM

I've sprung a leak

, everything works except the mobo. I went to the local computer store and bought a new one though. 130 dollahs for a good Abit of the same model. But now at least I have the newer version. NF7-S revision 2.0, from 1.1. I have to say I like this one better, for I can overclock more. But now I also have to make a new resevoir for my system. Just thought I'd share my tradegy with everyone.

PEACE!

Let this be a lesson. Use fitted and glued PVC for a good res and only use good tubing (i.e. tygon or clearflex 60) with clamps at every joint. This leaves your only points of failure at the radiator (hopefully you won't be corroding it, right?) and the pump (which should be sealed good, right?). If done right, a watercooling system should be absolutely bulletproof.

Just put the board on the pile with the others and dig out the old machine to get on the net and buy another.

Disaster is almost second nature now

It is a purchased res, I'm in contact with the company that made it, I am attempting to get them to foot the bill, for I followed their instructions for install. I am now going to make another, this time, of higher quality then what I bought.

And I've already got a replacement mobo, Boli.
