Pff, totally off-argument, we were talking about conductivity, not dead pumps.

and im saying a dead pump is far worse then a leak if its on your GPU line.

Because the GPU has nothing called thermal shut down.
And ive melted a few MCW60's from that accident.

You guys are blowing coolant way out of proportion is what im trying to get at.
There are far more scarier things to worry about then a leak.

i am not out to offend anyone.

But if ur seriously scared of leaking.. its a classic definition of beginner.

None of my friends nor i will freak out on a leak... instead we will stop, grab a ciggy or beer, and then clean.
Key thing is the more you panic.. the more mistakes you will make.

Well, when I notice a leak, it's panic mode until the power is off :D
After that it's cleaning time.

Fortunately I've only had 2 small leaks, and they were during loop testing.
