Someone is dillusional about being able to RMA the card like eVga won't find out that it was water damaged and they are going to be very very pissed in a week or so when the RMA gets rejected and it hits them that they bought the card as-is knowing this in advance. . . . thank god for morons, the winning bidder deserves to get screwed.
Currently playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat with Misery 2.1.1 and being miserable the entire time.
Well, I have had water damaged vid cards in the past...one XFX and one BFG. I sent them back and they sent me replacements, I just never mentioned the reason the cards weren't working!!

Its truly amazing that someone actually purchased this card, especially if they actually read the description (unbelievable)! It would be great to get a follow up story on the buyer to know what he/she did with the card (if it got RMA'ed, if it booted, if it ended up an ornament).

Thanks for being an ... You do know that others will have to pay for your stupidity?
If you break something because of your watercooling you should at least have the guts to accept your shipment of fail. Some people are lucky they don't need many brain cells for breathing and breeding.
Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

The small zip ties actually work great for that purpose and lots of experienced builders use them.
I pull them down tight with needle nose pliers then trim the end off with two on each fitting.
They look very neat when done properly.
Plus Ive filled up while my pc was on... its fine and safe as long as your not a spastic.
Also, isnt distilled water SUPPOSED to not be electronically conductive... i.e. the whole point why its used in PC watercooling, so that if you DO spill any, then it should be fine.
I also thought the DIY cooling was actually quite inspired!

Depends if the water that dropped on the Grafix card was clean distilled water.
Once it gets dirty it becomes conductive i believe.
And then it also depends on if this guy told the truth about how it died.
Got my previous grafix card wet twice. Both times the CPu block was leaking at the fitting (stupid me forgot to switch the o-ring). Dryed it and it worked perfectly.
ps.
i also use zipties. 1 zip tie per fitting. Have used worm clamps and them Swiftech thingies. Out of the 2 the swiftech clamps r best but they are a crime to get off the fitting.
