when the cost of your loops exceeds the cost of the actual hardware.
when your computer weighs 40lbs more than when it was air cooled.
when your room is dust-free because all the dust got sucked into your radiators.

mostly same as u all, pieces of parts over the floor when assembling, computer weight is heavy, mid-high end hardware with much more expensive water cooling components, spent most time setting up water cooling loop compare to setting up hardware components, spending hours just to get the loop done etc...
Very guilty of the pieces around the floor...in fact, I had finished my last loop change for almost a month and there're still things littered about :p:Quote:

You still insist on watercooling those things although you've been fighting with tubing routes and fittings for a week and still cannot get them in proper order
You're happy when its all over and done with although your vital components are now running warmer because all these extra junk in the loop and the casing are restricting water and airflow :D
I'm guilty of that
When you only have watercooling parts and no hardware at all
lol
:(
When as soon as you have installed your new WC setup, you already start thinking of possible upgrades :rolleyes:
When you're in work and reading XS forum instead of work :D
Oh dear .......... all of the above :up:
Also, when your 24/7 temps are never low enough.
That's the one...Quote:

my build has been awaiting parts for the past 4 months, from what my computer was, the only thing still the same is the hard drives.Quote:

You started with a $200-400 budget and have ended up spending over $1000-2000
when you have a rubber ducky in your reservoir and not in your bathtub
when a leak in your bathroom is of a 'MEH' level, and the leek in the loop is of the
!!!!MARSIANS ATTACKING, NUCLEAR MISSILERS LAUNCHED, MOTHER-IN-LAW VISITING!!! level
when you piss it is all about pressure, not flow
When you finish your new computer but you dont actually use it because its going to be in the photo studio for the next 2 weeks
When you get a quote for laser cutting the acrylic for your reservoir @ $196 and you say "yeah lets do it, that's not bad"
When you have so many extra parts that you can run a contest with many prizes based on things you have but dont need.
When you finish your most recent build and you have already started the CAD drawings for your next, three fold more complex, build.....
..when you are at a Tesco and fill your cart with only bottles of vinegar and de-ionized
Cashier: "Sir please, other people may want to buy those!"
health risk involved ...do not try this at home ...or anywhere else:
when you tell your GF that a DDC 3.2 with aftermarkt top squirts with more pressure than she
Lol, this is good.
When you buy more blocks and rads even though there's nowhere to use them (i've only the one rig, 5 rads and 3 cpu blocks).
1 - WC stuff: Pump, Reserv, rad, CPU block.
2 - WC Stuff: Pump, reserv, rad, CPU block, VGA block.
3 - WC Stuff: 2 Pump, 2 Reserv, 4 rad, CPU block, VGA block, Mosfet block, NB block.
4 - WC Stuff: 5 Pump, 9 Reserv, 10 Rad, CPU block, VGA block, Mosfet block, NB block, SB block, HDD block, memory block and your home became a big water cooling case :p.
Problems???? Your wife is not the problem, your mom is not the problem...
The problem is that you need less temp, At least 1º less....
When you upgrade your CPU block for a 1C drop in temp at best...
or when you add a second rad to your cpu only loop, just for the fun of it.
