    My pump quit working while I was at work! pics of failed pump, and the 7900GS lives

    AAHH! So I work 3rd shift and came home to my computer screen being blank but the computer was still running. I noticed a big air bubble chillin in my loop and realized that my pump wasn't pumping!! I touched around the socket of the cpu and it was HOT and my video card was kinda warm as well. Anyway, I powered down and tried to run the pump with a spare PSU but it would not turn on This was a rather new pump, Swiftech DDC 3.2 with Petras Top I purchased maybe in August or around there.

    I dont think the cpu fried because I tried to boot the comp and it would boot and I saw the first screen, but since the pump wasn't pumping I shut the comp back down.

    I guess I will go to Microcenter later today after I sleep and maybe buy a new pump. I guess I'll get another DDC but maybe I should thinkabout a D5 instead? What do you guys think?

    Oh, and I would like to thank everyone here as I learned most of what I know about water cooling by lurking on this forum and even though this is a little set back, I have been quite happy with the fun associated with setting up my system.
