Mi Julie sprung a leak

[Rob 80386]

Spent all morning draining down my computer's waterloop, as it started leaking ever so slightly.

turns out one of the o-rings have perished on the barbs.

order a new one today, it should be back up and running by the begining of next week

lesson learnt keep spares.

If one has perished the others assuming same age may well go soon.

This is the reason why I dont water-cool my PC

yes it is, but it gets pushed to the limit

no components lost thankfully

It's on air cooling at the moment until the replacement part arrives

still you wouldnt expect an O ring to fail after a few months?

True, maybe I was just unlucky

What's the point of water cooling?

What's the point of water cooling?

Water conducts heat 20x faster than air. When you run powerful or overclocked PC components water cooling offers better cooling capacity without using a windtunnel fan on your pc!

No fans so less noise plus if cooled well can push the overclocking.

crazy stuff there


Update,

The parts arrived, the loop is back together, all but the second pump, giving it a clean before installing it
