More pics.








Bl**dy good chip aswell,i got it to 2100MHZ.From MARCI.
Even the solder melted.

8O
Its the solder the block leaks.

 

Yup this hapned cos my pump failed and my tec kept going,due to my good insulation it didnt help in this case.

sorry to hear about that m8 total disaster and a shame .... but its one of the big risks us overclockers take

[Privateer48]

Sorry guys plz move to right section.

Hmmmmm i know this is probably not the best time to ask, but did you notice the highest temp it got to, before destruction

How did you NOT notice that that was going on at the time!!??

ANd a quick handy hint or 2...

1. No you can't RMA the cpu lol
2. Grab the bios chip out of that mobo b4 ya sling it, ya never know how handy they become (ain't that right mav!)

SO, next step new mobo and unlocked Tbred2200+ perhaps?? Got one unlocked and waiting for you already...  :D

Dear Mr AMD, i had a slight mishep with my processor purchased from Over-Clock UK.

Althought the processor was a factory model and had not been modified for proformance it unfortunatly overheated causeing considerable damage to the Processor and the motherboard it was attached to.

I would be very greatful if you could take then issue up with the supplier, as they refuse to RMA the chip for replacement.

Thanks indeedy Customer X

my word thats some state matey....  sorry too see that happening to one of us.  always at the back of the mind that happening but hey good excuse for newer equipment.  you must be well gutted like i was when a new mobo 3 hdd and a cd rom packed in due to a shiz mobo....  200gb of stuff gone.  good luck getting up and running again if you aint already.

LOL !!
I wish i could do that,my G4 is in the airing cupboard and my memory seems ok now,i was getting C1 alot.

Im sure if you asked your house insurance people you will be covered.

The kit is provided with full fitting instructions, as long as you can prove you followed them, and the kit was faulty someone is to blame.

Ehiem most probably

[Marci]

House Insurance?? Wassat den??? lol ::

Just a furthur thought buy a heatsink and tarnish the bottom with a lighter or summit and take pics of the PC with the water kit out, should be OK

One prob i got Cpu of Marci.I used the supplied AMD fan,.(HONEST!!)</font>

[gb115]

guess thats just one mroe reason to get them flow matic jobs when they come  in (and probably explains why they're in so much demand)

I used the supplied AMD fan,.(HONEST!!)

if you used the supplied AMD fan there would have been melted aluminium all over the shop.... the retail hsf couldent cool the northbridge  let alone the cpu

[Guest_CyPHeR_*]

mav does have a point, personally i would put a block of butter on the CPU rather than the retail fan, the butter would last longer, and smell nicer when it does go

Purcisely! Also Privateer, what happened to the BIOS thermal warning/shutdown? Forgot to set it? Real shame, nasty mess. Condolences and all that mate.

Just got a heads up to this thread, and it's something I've known about, but people wont always believe me, that the block can actually get hot enough to unsolder when a pump dies using a high power TEC. LINK

Privateer48 It may not be much help, but I could repair the block for you, (at no cost), if you send it. It would be & look better than it was before the disaster. That's if you can't mend it yourself of course. ::

I've just got some testing gear together as I'm going to start playing with a 220 watt Tec soon. Will however dedicate this weeked end to getting my "pump death low flow shutdown system" built first I think, (as I've been puting it off for far too long now).
