Somehow, the waterflow slowed down enough to let the waterblock heat up real hot. So hot it melted the frickin' water tubes. Guess what comes after that? Gee I think you can guess.
My last word:
<b>NO MORE WATERCOOLING</b>
-----------------
"648kb is all the space anyone will ever need!"
Sorry to here that hope your systems a ok. Sh*tty deal though did your processor get fried as well? No insult intended just curious. Also why didn’t you smell the rubber melting? Remember water and electricity don’t mix I like my little old fan just fine

List of crap parts:
Motherboard (A7V)
CPU (Duron 750, thank god)
Possibly Video card (geforce 2 gts)
Possibly memory
i haven't tested the video card or memory yet, i'm afraid to.
the CPU got so frickin' hot, and the waterblock got so hot that the solder melted and dripped all over my motherboard!!!! that's VERY hot! holy cow.... not fair.
and there is water in everything too

Oh sh*t that’s terrible you were interrupted while watching Lone Gunman. Oh ya and the water thing man I would think ones the water got on and started to short tracks your almost guaranteed most if not all of your hardware is toast. I had my motherboard fry on me because of a surge threw my wake on LAN connection which in tern fried and resister right under my video card which damaged my little viper 2 (may have arced) it works still but very unstable. Just don’t have the money for a new card right now. Might go with the soon to be cheap gforce 2 ultra. I hope your machines somewhat ok, I totally know how it feels to have a damaged system hope for the best

That sux completely. That's the exact reason I use el-cheepo copper plumbing tubing on the discharge side of my waterblock. I also use a 450gph pump, turned down to around 65%.
Did your tubing crimp/occlude, or did your pump fail?
Hindsight is 20/20, but a flowmeter attached inline of return tube would be cool.
Picture this:
Return line goes to small console on side of monitor.
Console has thermometer, flowmeter, and red light on it.
Red light, along with audilble alarm, comes on when flow stops or temp hits limit.
Power shutdown is on delay after alarm, in case you don't hear it.
The flowmeter is the key here. The thermometer wouldn't give you real-time, accurate data on CPU condition, but I would put it in there anyhow.
Mr.Meltdown, does AMD really blow as much as you say?
Should I try to OC an Intel P4-1.5Ghz with the VapoChill
instead?
Check this too:
I have decided to give it me all and try out a VapoChill.
I now need a good mobo using the KT266 Chipset so I can
hook up 200/266 FSB. I need it to be rich in OverClocking
features for an Athlon @ 1.33Ghz. I wanna try for 2GHZ!!!
It has to be stable for 3 or 4 hours though.
I found one on www.msicomputer.com that has KT266.
Its called the MS-6380. But does it contain the same
features for OC'ing as the previous MS-6341 mentioned
in Tom's "Power Box" article? Plus, I cant find it or
the MS-6341 for sale anywhere. Where can I find these?
Does it matter if the DDRSDRAM is Unbuffered, non-parity
or ECC? I want CAS2 PC2100 for sure. About HDD's...
is SCSI-ULTRA-160 the fastest, or what? And is there any
OS or software problems that could arise from my choice
of SCSI over ATA100? Like could I run Millenium on SCSI?
Or just Win 2K. I guess I would REALLY LIKE TO SEE
"POWER BOX 2"!!!! When is that going to be written?
we are on a more technical level which requires more skill. none of this i-dont-care-if-i-dont-put-the-heatsink-on-right-cause-it-wont-fry-anyway crap.

stfu you lil' wannabe! and stop sucking up to these AMD puppies, why don't you practice what you preach and go out and get a fuccing Athlon already you lil' punk!

"Amd cpu...Gone in 2 secs flat, it truly is a fast chip!"
no, i tapped directly into the waterline in the basement. i was moving stuff and somthing hit the valve and shut it off. i went to watch tv and came in at a commercia. the screen was blank so i shut it off and looked in and thats when it hit me. heh.

AMD Meltdown get a life a guys computer gets fried and you think its funny I hope your precious Intel piece of crap burns up. God Intle chips are running on 6 year old technology. AMD thunderbirds are being overclocked to over 1.5ghz try that on a pIII there at there limit at 1ghz. To add insult to injury the AMD 1.2ghz is faster than a 1.5ghz P4 boy that is truly an awesome architecture when a 2 year old design running at 300 mhz slower can kick its ass Intel is going down
I think griz deserves a round of applause. His machine got toasted and he's taking it like a man. And I know it won't make him move to Intel just for heat protection.
Maybe this was natures way of telling you to go for "Water Cooled AMD Mark II". And they say computers aren't evolving!

Out of curiosity, did you just dump the water into the drain then?
I'm setting up my first watercooling system. All the gear is on its way. I'll be using redundant pumps (3) on a UPS (Huge IBM mainframe UPS, we powered a coffee maker and crock pot for 2 hours with it.) I need to find a water flow and water temp kill switch, then I'll be satisfied with its safety. Everything will be enclosed in my full tower to prevent anything (like my foot!) from tangling in the tubes and pulling something free. I also intend to conformal coat EVERYTHING. =) Just to be on the safe side. Plus, with flourescent silicon it will make for a cool effect.
I'm even considering buying a Duron 750 and conformal coating it with Urethane and running the coolant directly over the CPU die with an open bottom Pyrex or high-temp clear plastic water jacket. Since it will be flourescent, I'll actually get to watch the water flow over the die. If it works, I'll do the same to my Athlon. That's for v2, though.
