Well i actually blew a barb as well on my NB, and the whole coolant came flushing on my main board.

Plastic barb being screwed in the wrong way was the problem. The computer was probably live for about 2 min, b4 it was shut down, and then was dipped litterally in rubbing alcohol, and allowed to fully dry.

And it still works.... :\


But you showing your pictures is starting to make me rethink things again... Meaning theres no way it could of been user error.....
Here's the scary part, it was a brand new build. I ran Prime 95 overnight and it was running fine for 2 hrs before I went to bed. In the morning, when I went downstairs to the basement to see how it was doing, I ran into a odd yet familiar smell half way down the stairs. Noticed the red CCFL's weren't lit and thought it shut itself down due to over heating, pushed the power button, CCFL's flickered for a sec and went back out, did it 3 more times before it sank in that something was wrong, turned the case and saw that. It also partially charred the alum of the X-QPack case it was in.
