well up untill 2 days ago i waqs a great enthusiest fo both water cooling and overclocking. i have a 120mm radiator with a fan mounted at the top of my case direstly over the proc. to take full advantage of heat rising and pull air across the water block for even greater cooling (almost a moot point but it fit well). I was so proud of my rig running my 1 gig T-bird at 1.3 and sailing along smoothly. well then the quality of my system showed itself. the pump apparently failed (i wasn't there at the time, school and all) and fan fell off the radiator!!! it was only hot glued on!!! this fell on the MB and shorted it out now it seems that the board and the water cooler are both shot. now im regretting i bought my system at www.cpufx.com

i have made a few tryies to reach them but they are only in the office 9-4 eastern and havce no online support

On the upside the proc., ram, and Vid card still work.

well to be fair i pluged the pum in again and it makes all kinds of funky noises but still pumps some water about 1/4 what it used too
