Let my try to explain my damn trouble...lets see...
Ok, I live in Mexico city, here the computer scene is not that great, we dont get brand-new-top-notch stuff like you guys in the US, Canada, Europe etc and not at good prices either; import is not easy since neweeg and the likes dont ship to mexico and thus you got to try to import in other ways. With that brief intro.....
I contacted a guy in Tijuana to get me the pieces, he would also build the rig and the ship it to me so I just had to unpack-plug- and use. But (aside of taking too damn long) there were more problems.
For starters, the PC wasnt usable, it wasnt starting barely trying to boot. My mobo is a gigabyte x58, the post keept on telling me " 62 "
over and over and over again, by suggestion of this very same guy, I took off the RAM to try many configurations, also tried taking of the graphic card....and later the cpu block, to try to get another psot report...and when I was trying to use an old box to bring support to the GPUs block and the CPU while preparing to reasemble everything- DISATER STRIKES!!!- a hose from the graphics card got loose and the damn thing leaked hard, I tried to shut off everything as fast as I could. The liquid pretty much emptied completely wasn able to prevent it. I noticed then , that this guy didnt include secures for the hoses
Now
1 day after that huge dissapointment. Im here, looking for help.
I tried to dry everything the best I could, even usin a hair dryer, anyway, aside the graphics card I think only the lower part of the mobo and the PSU got their "bath".
So, I ask you for your advice on this troubles, and also, to try to prevent this stupid-careless-amateur mistake from happening again; Im looking for some secures, hopefully you can give me advice on this too Right now Im looking at some fittings to secure the hoses from danger den,koolance and others AND the quick discconects from koolance hoping that in an eventual leake or something like that, they can shut the flow of the liquid.
So...thats pretty much it, hope you can help me.
For whatever its worth, here is some extra info:
radiator: triple xspc
reservoir: dangerden double 5.25 bay
pump: swiftech
cpu block: apogee gtz
Again on the "62" post...the first-very first-attempt at usin the PC, I plugged my stuff on it, lets see:
audio jacks for the speakers
ethernet for www conection
a couple (non active) USB cables FOR EXPANSION STUFF (CARD READER, EXTERNAL hdd)
USB for my wireless logitech mouse
the keyboard
and finally of course the display with dvi ports
The mentioned first part I pushed on and the display..it was...LAME, the screen had swhite tripes and points all over the place with a black background, I barely could read that the system was trying to recognize the SSD and the rest of the stuff but nothing specific unfortunately, then the screen turned completely black. I shut it off, and the a few mins later started trying to check the POST to get some idea; and from that moment on, it kept telling me the "62" thing until the disaster happened and I left it alone.
Any info will be highly apreciated, thanks in advance
