Last night I noticed my system wouldn't boot. It just restarted frantically and beep. So, I figured I would reapply the thermal paste ( which I thought was the issue originally.)
Upon closer inspection I noticed that some sort of liquid was in the PICe sockets and in random places on my mobo.
Apparently, the ECO A.L.C had leaked and the cooling fluid slowly made its way down the board and nearly flooded the PCIe sockets.
Sad to say the ECO lasted me almost a only year and a half.
SOME PICS for those who are visual animals. 56k Beware
