thomas.balint16 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Ok so I'm an idiot and feel free to laugh at me I deserve it So I'm building a new pc with custum water cooling all corsair hydro x. I had everything ready installed pump reservoir the loop all concected. As I start filling the reservoir I hear some water trickle and I look under my pc and its comming out. So I forgot to plug the back hole on the pump... Unfurtunerly under my pump in the lower section of my pc I had a HUB for my corsair fans and it all got wet. The fan connectors the sata conector for the hub. Also the molex cable and conmection for my pump got wet. I was using corsair coolant. PC was not under power at all at any time. The rgb cables are ok for the fans only the fan cables got wet. I cleaned of as much as I could with paper towel and than input all thr cables in a bowl of rice. What do you guys think will the fans work? Is it a problem that it wasn't just plain water and it was green coolant? And what about the pump molex cable?

Infin1tum Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 wipe all connectors off with alcohol and let it dry a day or two. should be fine. Corsair coolant is not electrically conductive in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwulf Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi Thomas, your fail is really nothing to laugh, bad enough for you. I almost ran in the same issue, the only thing that prevented me from leaving the backside inlet open, was that i was not happy with the Temp sensor in the side inlet XD. Maybe i am too late, but i recommend to give the components a long time to dry, a few days minimum. Best regards, i hope your System will work fine later.

thomas.balint16 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Thanks everyone , I l left all the cables sitting in rice for 2 days . I plugged everything back in after and it all worked . I was lucky no damage was made. But now I have some other questions but ill make a post about it. Here some pics on how it turned out. Just waiting on the Strix 3080 water block to finally be available in Canada. I seen in US its already up for sale in Canada its still "Notify me when in stock " :( Also the pump and cpu block isn't lighting up because i need an extension it wont reach to the commander or anywhere.

Ghostwulf Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I received my Hydro X GPU waterblock a couple of days ago. I never got a restock notification email, but one day in the morning, i checked the website as i often does, and there was my wanted waterblock in stock, so i ordered it immediately.
