It means its not dry enough, wait a bit longer. Check for water in PCI-E slots, run a tissue through it or use compressed air.Quote:

lol the thread is now 2 days old, it's not like there's 100% chance the board is fine, it is probably dead if it didn't boot by now it won't boot in 2011.Quote:

One of 5850 is completely dead it seems. Thankfully the board and the other 5850 are fine.
Because I didn't have any back plates for these VCs, I guess water leaked right on where GPU core sits from the CPU inlet.
Epic, perhaps you can place stock cooler back on VC and RMA it.... Worst case scenario, they can't fix it, best case they can fix it under warrantee......
actually im +1 with DB on his feser tubing comment.Quote:

Its not as bend worthy as primochill, but its close, and it doesnt cloud either.
Depending on room temperature and humidity, it may take more time for all the water to evaporate from miniature crevices and corners and it can be as long as 4 or 5 days. Never give up hope ;)Quote:

Try inspecting it under strong light, check the core out as well. Or soak it in isopropyl if you want to be 100% sure its kicked the bucket.Quote:

I'll keep it in mind though.
I see DB is using those fittings in his build. DB, are you not worried they will break?
Just an FYI to everyone.
Primochill is owned by ModderSmart.com and Moddersmart.com use to be Voyeurmods.com who went out of business for bad business practices and producing bad products.
They have never and will never admit that a product that they produced could ever fail and you will get constipation log before you ever get compensation from them.
They are a company to avoid at all cost, and i know this from personal experience.
Sorry for your bad experiences.
Remember seeing this from when Voyeurmods folded....:rofl:

This is what I got from PrimoChill:
Unfortunately, we are not able to compensate for any consequential damages. Please see our term and conditions here: http://www.primochill.com/terms-and-conditions.html. We are able however, to compensate you for broken fittings and/or any of our products directly. Please let us know what you would like to do.
Best Regards,
PrimoChill Customer Support
Like I really want a refund on $4.00 fitting...
if they were going to break they would be broken already. I will change them all out to metal fittings when I have time. There is a T3 in the rig as well and it thus far is OK but it will be removed as well. I had one T3 fail and leak, two thus far that are ok. The one in the Trek build survived even from being shipped to Dallas and back last Summer. Go figure.Quote:

QFT. Although there are several metal compression fittings out there that are almost as cheap as the ghost fittings. I can't garantuee their quality though.Quote:
