nightsider Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 but isent phase expensive last time i heard anything about phase cooling it could only be used for cpu cooling it may have progressed further to alow gpu cooling if the price was cheeper than wc i would consider it considering this disaster im deffently going to resherche phase cooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 it is pretty hard to tell if my pumps are running when the loops are bled of air... I had to put my hand around the pump to see if it was actually running or not lol... maybe you should have the Eheim hooked up to a relay, and add an IEC socket at the back with a Y-splitter IEC cable...

I have a pci relay, there was just no room for it with crossfire. I think this next time I am going to use it in the one pci slot that I have access to and run a cat 5 cable to it instead of using the wireless pci card. That simple relay would have stop this disaster... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 you work with electricity for a living don't you? should be easy enough to make a non-PCI relay then I was thinking something more along the lines of the molex activated relay you get with a Meanwell (you could make one quite easily): Swiftech do this relay kit separately: http://www.crazypc.com/products/9321.html DD do one too: http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php...mp;bestseller=Y or this (add relay inside PSU): http://coolercasesuk.co.uk/showthread.php?t=308 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbrown23 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 oh man!!!! thats a bummer! You'd think that it would be me posting this not RR!!?!?!! MAn I'm sure the cards are dead and by the look of the solder points on the back of your pci-e slot the board is done to, but on the bright side you got your 3870x2 in so your not comepletely!

Since when is the possibility of loosing two higher end video cards and motherboard ever remotely close to the bright side? Is there any chance of a RMA for them RR?

road-runner Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Well I could not stand it any longer, had to see if the MB was still good and it is at least on slot 1. I am fixing to check slot 2.

road-runner Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I got lucky both cards are ok also, if I had not been standing right there when it happened to unplug it I might not have been so lucky. I also seen why the one tubing popped off before the others. I am using those plastic zip clamps and the one that came of was for the next size up tubing and was not tightening properly. I guess if it wouldn't have popped off and none of the others popped off either it would have got so hot it would have burn the VCs up. Man I happy right now everything survived....
