Watercooling Loop exploded
Watercooling Loop exploded
Hey there,
I had a watercooling loop with soft tubing but decided to switch to rigid tubing. That was the plan. I tested it for around 20 hours. Yesterday, while gaming, my PC just shut down and I checked my setup—there was a big mess! The tubing came loose behind the pump, and the pump spilled all the Aurora red pastel over the area. The GPU, mainboard, and RAM are all covered with drops of it. Now I’m really unsure what to do next. When I take it apart, how should I clean it? Also, I’m not sure if I should stick with this setup anymore. My PC is decent but the components are a bit old (LGA 2011). I’m considering taking the RAM and PSU out to build a new air-cooled rig. But if it leaks again and I don’t see it, fixing the wooden floor could be very expensive. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks and sorry for the auto correction xP
Greetings
Ron
All in one liquid coolers have come a long way, and the percentage of leaks remains very low. Based on tests, the Cooler Master Nepton 240 and Nepton140XL stand out as top choices. Recently, I installed the Nepton 140XL on my FX6350 OCed at 5GHz, maintaining temperatures just above 55°C—something the Scythe Mugen3 with two fans struggled to match. By placing the radiator outside the case, the risk of leakage and potential damage was significantly reduced.
