Well apparently my loop wasn't really sealed. It was good for a few days, but must have leaked last night.

Yes. Most people buy the Feser Clear Coolant as its Non-Conductive for Electricity.

Thanks man. I'm thinking to go back to air for that i7. Its very risky with such expensive hardware. Best part is that the 5850 died a few days before I have to give my Subaru to the garage, which will cost as much as ten 5850s. So I'd be able to get a new one next month the soonest.

I'm going to be running a test on Non-Conductive Coolants next month mate. i'll post my findings on here too. My Test subject is going to be my ever faithful HIS2600 to see if I fry it or not with these. Might help you out if you want to stay with water.

Oh yeah! I had to RMA a X800GTO that was leaked on. Cleaned it, sent it, and 2 weeks later had a replacement. The green will clean off very easily with the concoction I listed above.

Sorry for your loss man.

I killed an x1950pro putting on a Zalman vf900. Was completely my fault and turned me off custom cooling GPUs ever since.
