Water-Cooling leaking

Apokarteron · 04-30-2006, 03:23 PM

Has anyone had any leaking problems with their water cooling systems?

You should add an option for "never used water cooling", otherwise I'll be forced to vote no...

Honestly I would think that the majority of people here dont have watercooling.

If your thinking about getting watercooling for your system... dont do it.

99% of the time you don't have leaks becuase you make damn sure you've got everything setup properly and you test it outside of your system before hand.

true, but its standard practice, you dont get in a car and drive off if you dont know how to do it properly do you...? anway, no mine didnt leak, but the pump broke down once... no leaking though

Good point, but lets remember we arent spending thousands of dollars on our watercooling. I just think that some people take it for granted or think it is easier than it looks, and mess things up.

No we aren't talking about $1000 cooling setups, but you still don't install a WC fill it and turn it one without testing it first. That's like building an airplane without building a scale test model first.
You don't need to know what you're doing, you just know that you don't want to ruin your equipnment so you take extra care.
