Christ man, you have the worst computer luck I have ever seen, and I've personally blown up a lot of shit. lol.

lol wile e. :roll: I think its a curse when you first set up something that will potentially pwn... Or, when you put so much effert into that one thing.. I've stopped working on my computer late a night because i'll end up messing it up...

I was using distilled water.....it was on tho. I powered it down cleaned it up.

Now the lights come on, but the fans don't spin noting. The LCD is just flashing on and off.

I'm so pissed it's not even funny. I went and spent some of the last pocket cash I had to get it up today(payday is not for a week....)and I owe money so no way I can get a motherboard for at least 3 weeks.....

I'm literally about in tears about this. I'm so mad it's not funny.


The leak came from the side of the block....when I tested the block the first time the leak was on the fittings. So I taped them up and thought I was ready to go, another lesson......

Well it started back up again, BUT it is showing the CPU INT error again. BUT it's not flashing like last time.....so I don't know.

I have pulled the battery out again, maybe in a day or two it will start again.


I just dont know.

or this one


http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/cata...oducts_id=1107

i only want to cool my cpu nothing else

any idears welcome

Second link doesn't work. But anyway, the 220 you linked is decent, but if you can assemble that, you can assemble a custom kit, and get better results. As Intel said, look at the first post for some ideas.

1 x XSPC 200 Bay Reservoir & Pump - Clear
1 x EK 1/2" Hose fitting
1 x EK 1/2" Hose fitting
1 x EK 1/2" Hose fitting
1 x EK 1/2" Hose fitting

1 x EK 1/2" Hose fitting
1 x XSPC Tubing Clip For 1/2" Hose
1 x XSPC Tubing Clip For 1/2" Hose

That's an OK kit. It's pump and block leave a little to be desired. I'd still rather build my own kit. If I had no choice but to buy a kit like that, I'd get the Swiftech H20-220 instead. Just because I know the pump is good, and the block is decent.

welcome to the forum. What are you looking to water cool? Just your CPU or CPU and GPU, etc?

CPU and GPU can be found in the OP
As for n/s bridges and mosfets those can be a bit tricky to find for a MF II. Places like:
EK
Mips
and there is one more but I can't remember. You can check those places to see if they fabricated waterblocks for your MB.
