Out of curiosity, did Cooler Master offer you any kind of reimbursement for the damaged hardware? My guess is NO, but I'd be furious enough to call them 8 times a day to demand something in return.
@mierzhen Still though you can get a closed loop system from corsair for like $80 and there is nearly no change of ever getting a leak. Performance is great as I dont really need something crazy like a phase change cooler bringing down to like -20 degrees and although its not much better than the best of air coolers its also doesnt make you want to tear your eardrums out.
@xxslayer66xx i'm used to having to deal with cooling fan noise :P.. but really it don't matter as long as the components are cool enough to where they don't cook themselves due to extreme heat (say about ~160-200F). i've heard that some components reach up to 60C (or about ~140F) without problems from peak usage
ever thought that maybe it was just the way you installed it not coolmaster, because im pretty sure their best invention was the cm hyper 212+ heatsink...
@DutchDukeMan The color is an optional additive. You can run just straight distilled water. Although it is a good idea to add an anti-microbial/anti-corrosive. Most colored additives also have these in them.
Like xXH3II5xB3IIXx asked, have you ever actually water cooled?
This video was post more than 4 years ago. God knows water cooling has come a long way. It's not really this guy's fault, if it was working for 3 to 4 years he has probably done it right. It's obviously just some tacky plastic crap that people thought looked cool 7 years ago.
what makes you think the motherboard was toast? if that was non conductive coolant, like should be used, then odd are the only thing the leak hurt was the cpu overheated, most motherboards will shut down the system before damage occurs from heat...meaning you could just replace the waterblock with a good one, and be good to go...
It's not a case of "Don't buy a water cooling kit", it's a case of "Don't be a retard and use a piece of plastic instead of a normal copper CPU block."
@huze5 I would imagine the actual cold plate on the block is copper, and most blocks, at least the tops, are made of some sort of plastic, be it acetal, acrylic, or plexi.
@snedie69er yeah well i don't really see the point of spending that much on a pc even for BF3 you can get one that maxes it out for like 1k CAD. but if i were to get water cooling id make sure to geet it installed by a professional
Good luck finding one, especially one that will give you a warranty.
And besides, "Maxing out" is quite relative to what the application is being displayed on. for instance, my quadfire 5970's can't max the game out at 2560*2440, hence why I'm putting them under water and over clocking. So yer, 1k might get you a system which will max any game out at a low resolution, but not at anything higher than 1280*720.
One last note, most people who spend this much on a pc tend to have the money to do so, or are simply an enthusiast who will work his ass off (like me, I work on a farm) to save the dosh up. It's taken me 3 years to build the system I have now (£2.5k to build), and I'm no where near finished.
there is coolants that works really well but aint conductive, so if it leaks out it will make ur components wet, but wont damage them in any way.... i know ill invest money in that coolant when i build my custom loop.
@glennnnnnnnnnnnnn469 Yeah, mineral oil would be too thick. All coolants, be it distilled water or even a specifically made coolant, would have about the consistency of water to allow the pump to move it.
I bet i know what happen..your using a high flowing pump with a cheap waterblock..Next time try Danger Den there guaranteed not to leak..Or fuck the high flowing pump and get a slow flow zalman reserator then you never have any problem..
Considering these components are 2003 models, I don't think anyone with a reliable modern water cooling system (who aren't careless) should be daunted by this video.
You can see furring on the waterblock... My guess is that the loop used a dyed coolant, and wasn't rinsed well enough/often enough to remove the furring of tubes and waterblocks that results. This naturally leads to a build-up of pressure in the system and somewthing has to give - in this case the perspex on the CPU waterblock.
The real lesson here is to just use distilled water, maybe with a biocide added. If you're gonna use dyes, clean thoroughly and regularly. Not worth the effort imo.
you could in theory soak your entire system (except PSU) in this liquid and nothing would happen.
It is a non electric conducting liquid, not literally water
Just buy a corsair h50 liquid cooler, - never refill it and it is one piece.
if you have a liquid cooling system that you refill, that's a sure sign it's old dated and nasty, who wants to babysit their CPU cooler by checking how much liquid is left ??
Thats why I never use watercooling any more. Only high tech air. Like Thermalright Latest hig h end heatsinks. I am using currently thermalright Venomous X
@TheRoflWofl there isnt so much difference. ofc a good liquidcooling is better than air but imo not really worth it except you want your pc silent. and for 10° idle the water must have below 10° or its just impossible. the cpu cant be cooler than the water. so i would say at 20° roomtemperatur 21-22° idle is a good value for watercooling.
I run Fluid XP+ non-conductive coolant in my system to help prevent issues like this. Acrylic blocks look cool, but I don't think they're worth it when they crack. I have a Tt block in my system that has an acrylic top, and I will be replacing it with a Heatkiller 3.0 soon.
if it was off when it broke then if i was you i would just wash of the cards and put it back together and it should work fine (let them dry of course!)
XSPC, Swiftech, and Koolance. Those are the only brands you should trust. Not those poorly manufactured Thermaltake water cooling systems or Aquagate. gg.
@kilahchris Only ifa fan would work better as it does on a computer. And refrigerators are based onfans.There refrigerant is cooled by fans. So why add the refrigerant if you can just use the fan.
Like others have stated, it's not water it's non-conductive. If you have a high end rig that is overclocked and pushed, not liquid-cooling is a dumb idea.
@comerboy111 yeah, but then people would sue the companies for providing sensors.. then what if the sensors malfunction.... etc..
its muddy water when you buy a sensor in a kit and something goes terribly wrong (doesn't alert leak -> build destroyed) might need insurance on the computer..
maybe the seal just gone just get a new water block lol and you could of savd ya proc and mobo gcards would of still been aight it was only a slow driping leak lmao
bad luck man. thx. now i will not buy water coolers. i will stick it in freezer. hey! freezer cooler! great chunk of long life ice on a heatsink that tranfers the cool from the... oh whatever
Has anyone tried modding their case so the water cooled parts are upside down, I mean on the downside heat goes up so it would be less efficient, but if a leak to occur it wouldn't dribble down your motherboard or pool up on your GPU.
@UARAF16 If you buy a good kit, install it flawlessly and test everything first. Then it's perfectly safe. And if your smart you'll use non conductive liquid, and you won't add any dyes. The parts will get gummed up a bit if it leaks, but not too serious. This happened to a buddy of mine a few years ago, took hours to clean out all his silly UV dye from everything, basically took the whole thing apart, cleaned it all up, and it was good as new. Only thing lost was a PCI SATA card.
If you used something like ethylene glycol, there would been little to no damage, short of having to clean up the mess. Always go with a coolent with low electrical conductivity and never attempt to save money by cutting corners on fittings.
maybe u try the corsair H50 to 100 series? imo the best sealed off water cooling system. Saw it in action for about a year and had wonderful results u still need 2 big case fans for the radiator though xD and u cannot combine it with a graphics card water cooling system because it is made for the CPU only. IMHO dont waste ur time with water cooling and just get a better case with optimized airflow... I have Silverstone Raven 2 with 90° vertical alignment and that fucker is even dustprotected.
@MrGlazed@MrGlazed Yes its well worth it if you want to run a very fast but cool efficient & quiet PC
if QUALITY parts are used & maintained & decent coolant is used it is perfectly safe, Been watercooling for around 5 years with not one leak or problem.
If using distilled water you can have a pretty big leak before the HW will stop working & then after dryed out it usually works again, there are videos on here by petraPT to prove it.
@RidgeRacerLord Well, all laptops have fans, yes, but the fan is cooling a heatsink that is connected to watertubes so it collects the heat from different places in the laptop. Atleast my laptop has, and it's from 2005 so yeah..
what the fuck i can barely afford a crappy computer and u rip a hose and drown your like awesome dream pc? dude the motherboard probably wasnt shot right then but then after u did that...wow
Another point, only ionized water is conductive. So unless you sprinkled some salt in your water cooler reservoir, nothing may have shorted and all may have been well :P
Wow you really didn't need to do all that. As long as nothing shorted your setup could have survived. Even if something did short, there could still be a possibility of it surviving (pending that the short occurred across a circuit that could handle it). Only way you could have known for sure was to remove the leak, let it dry and turn it on, oh and pray...
How to Build a Water Cooling PC Things You'll Need • Water block • Radiator • Centrifugal Pump • Reservoir • Fittings • Tubing • Clamps • Distilled water • Isopropyl alcohol • Acetone • Lint-free cloth
Plexi is a poor material for waterblocks i had the same with mine it ruined a audiocard and the southbridge. Just take the hit in the wallet and buy a full metal waterblock.
oh man you are such a noob... water cooling kits can leak sometimes if the tubes are to old or you just messed up your cooler cuz you press to hard or screw up the damn cooler
for sure water cooling is nice but if you cant work with it... then dont use it!

If you used something like ethylene glycol, there would been little to no damage, short of having to clean up the mess. Always go with a coolent with low electrical conductivity and never attempt to save money by cutting corners on fittings.

maybe u try the corsair H50 to 100 series? imo the best sealed off water cooling system. Saw it in action for about a year and had wonderful results u still need 2 big case fans for the radiator though xD and u cannot combine it with a graphics card water cooling system because it is made for the CPU only. IMHO dont waste ur time with water cooling and just get a better case with optimized airflow... I have Silverstone Raven 2 with 90° vertical alignment and that fucker is even dustprotected.

@MrGlazed @MrGlazed Yes its well worth it if you want to run a very fast but cool efficient & quiet PC
if QUALITY parts are used & maintained & decent coolant is used it is perfectly safe, Been watercooling for around 5 years with not one leak or problem.
If using distilled water you can have a pretty big leak before the HW will stop working & then after dryed out it usually works again, there are videos on here by petraPT to prove it.

My laptop has watercooling, almost every laptop do :P

@sajwa52 No, very few laptops have watercooling. Most have fans.
@alandalong His PC was probably broken which is how he figured out there was a problem.
RidgeRacerLord 4 months ago
@RidgeRacerLord Well, all laptops have fans, yes, but the fan is cooling a heatsink that is connected to watertubes so it collects the heat from different places in the laptop. Atleast my laptop has, and it's from 2005 so yeah..

Another point, only ionized water is conductive. So unless you sprinkled some salt in your water cooler reservoir, nothing may have shorted and all may have been well :P
LeanMan821 5 months ago
Wow you really didn't need to do all that. As long as nothing shorted your setup could have survived. Even if something did short, there could still be a possibility of it surviving (pending that the short occurred across a circuit that could handle it). Only way you could have known for sure was to remove the leak, let it dry and turn it on, oh and pray...

Plexi is a poor material for waterblocks i had the same with mine it ruined a audiocard and the southbridge. Just take the hit in the wallet and buy a full metal waterblock.

oh man you are such a noob... water cooling kits can leak sometimes if the tubes are to old or you just messed up your cooler cuz you press to hard or screw up the damn cooler
for sure water cooling is nice but if you cant work with it... then dont use it!
