I have to wait, because I don't have anything to test it in. lol. All I have laying around are either Macs, or AGP machines. My ECS KA3 MVP is on loan to a friend, or else I would've had that. But, today is the magical day. I get the DFI and 6000+ back today. Wish me luck everyone. lol.

Even if you don't find anything Dave, I really, REALLY appreciate the effort.

I can't do much to thank you, so I'm gonna go bump your fs thread(s). lol

I'm kicking the idea around.

The other alternative I can think of is, go with just water for now, then next year, buy phase with my tax return.
It'll probably use less power in the long run if you want phase change

As for the smell, you do know burnt PCB is... toxic!

This is exactly why I stick to air-cooling. Low maintenance FTW.

To the OP: That sucks! Hate to see a C2D go down like that ...

3430 for benches, but that might get better with the 3x120MM rad. Don't know for sure yet.


And good news everyone, the 2900XT checks out fine. Woooot!!!!

good that the video card works but what about the RAM? Also if it was non-conductive coolant than wouldn't anything it got on be ok if you cleaned it and let dry?

I think at stock speeds the C2D would have but overclocked on that kind of cooling the 6000+ wouldn't even have a chance

Ram checks out fine, too. Posting this from the 6000+ now.

You're lucky. You need to find out about that processor though! Cmon man just spend $50 on a capable board. You don't need a high-end board as the 6000+ will be good for a few years and I wouldn't even attemp to OC that 4300 after it had a TEC melt on top of it and a mobo melt under it :/

lol. Like I said, if I buy a Core 2 board, it will be a good one. And I'll never NOT overclock. lol

Man that would be super extreme if the Core 2 was still in perfrect working order...that would earn a little more respect for Intel frome me..and as we all know getting respect from me means everything.

Just make sure you wire your rad fans and pumps to the same power source as the TECs. You see what happens when you don't. lol

Dont worry... just about everyone who has ventured into TEC cooling has made a similair mistake.

Its just that others caught it in time, where you didnt.

I have left the TEC on and the water pump off once..... I didnt know until the top of the waterblock blew off from the pressure and heat of the boiling water!
