failed vga water block - liquid cooling meltdown - _MG_3046
view failed vga water block - liquid cooling meltdown - _MG_3046 on a black background.
my liquid-cooled computer started sizzling last month, it sounded like i was cooking a stir-fry inside the case. turns out a $30 thermaltake water-cooled vga heatsink had cracked, melted, or otherwise ruptured and spilled coolant all over $6,000 worth of high-end computing hardware. major bummer. took a long time to clean everything out and restart it with noisy fan-cooled hardware. i've ordered some enormous passive heatsinks to try and get back to silent computing without the water pump.
