Watercooling Can Bite Me

[Scionix]

So, me being a first time water cooler, I get everything hooked up, get my basic loop going (after going to home depot because I didn't order enough pvc tubing), and my radiator is broken, shoots friggin' water like a jet out of one of its screw holes.

Yeah, taking it to a radiator shop.

Extra 20 bucks down the drain

At least it's fixable...

It happens to the best of us. My third loop, a tube came off (forgot a clamp on that barb) and flooded my PC. On that same loop, the placement of my t-line caused air to be sucked into my pump and it started cavitation in my pump and killed my MCP355.

At least it's fixable.

You'd better stick with air cooling.

Thats sucks that same thing happened to me with one of my radiators. Luckily I was able to fix it but I still need to get a new one.
