My pump died because I was running it on 5v for hours. I'm such an idiot sometimes. Gotta get another pump tomorrow...going to get a 12v marine utility pump @ 200 gallons an hour from harbor freight for $40.

Computer crashed and it took a few minutes to realize why.....finally I got it running again @ default settings and then notice the cpu was @ 63c and the cores were @ ~85c in HWmonitor. It didn't want to run overclocked when it was hot.

Good Night

This pump I got is loud as hell, and doesn't work for shit. I have a quiet submersible one on the way now. Should be here this evening.

I admit I reduced the fittings out of necessity, but the hole that actually goes through the pump is smaller than my fittings. It's sucking water .........it sucks my finger up tight to the hose, but the water is just not getting out the other end through the waterblock I guess. It's only trickling out and it's supposed to be pumping up to 4 gallons a minute w/ 50psi.
Anyone know about pumps? I'm going to try a submersible fountain pump, although I am kind of skeptical about it.

The lowest my cpu went was 21c with this pump installed. It was running 4-5c with the other pump that was obviously doing a better job.


BTW...do you think the previously mentioned temps could have hurt my cpu if only for a couple minutes? I'll find out later I guess.
