Default Test your board first

I was looking through pictures of rigs I have made when I came upon these. Building this system took many days. I hate to recall how much time I spent putting all this together. The odd looking reservoir was a 2.5 gallon water bottle with about 2" of polyurethane foam insulation. My hope was to capture all world records.

Unfortunately, my new motherboard was DOA.

Test your motherboard before you add custom cooling.

I hope this will help someone else avoid a similar situation.

Haha, that reservoir looks like a mutant pineapple!

I sent Steve a schematic of a pineapple and he found that it had peculiar coolant properties and created this thing


Excellent point on checking for doa mobo, gpus and the like before heading for the pineapple fields.
