Water-Cooling Horror Stories

[vegabros]

Just for laughs and also to serve as lessons for us newcomers, I would like to invite everyone to talk about any "disasters" they've had setuping or running their water-cooled computer.

Maybe you added too much dye? Maybe you went to change a pc component and accidently pulled off a tube?

It doesn't have to be *major* neither, just anything you want to share.

This should be fun :hrhr:

My screen went black, just to find out water spilled all over my x1800xt... Worked after I drowned it in some isopropynol(correctly spelled? :p: )

Went pretty mad though, was just about to smash my window and throw everything that came to my head out :D

wanted to remove the vc-cooler. normaly i can unplug it and put a towel around the tubing so no water goes out and then connect it back.
but this time i forgot to unplug the pump.... water was all over the floor... but not on the computer :) :toast: ... so unplug the pump :rofl:

For those who spilled or had water over their pc components, how did it happen?
Was it a loose tube?
