Oh Crap, that burning smell cant be good....

Ok, so Ive been getting the money together to finish my system, can see the details HERE

I was going to wait a bit longer to buy it all, seems i might have to buy sooner than i thought...

Last nite I was watching some shows (Chuck, if anyones a fan) and I began to smell a burning smell, very quickly I realised it was my computer, got down to have a quick look, looked ok at first glance but then noticed the liquid wasn't moving. I cut the power immediately, the GPU wasn't too hot, well not in comparison to the CPU anyway, couldn't touch the bracket of my apogee GTZ... I checked all the power connections to my pump and everything seems to be fine, tried it in a few different molex connections with no joy... Its a swiftech MCP355 and its less than two years old... It shouldn't have worn out already should it?!

I dont think any of my components are damaged thank god. but wont be able to check until I have either a new pump or my one up and running again...

Any Ideas of what could have happened, or how I can fix it?

If the pumps dead then its dead most of the time dude. Ive known them go alot sooner too tbh. Just save time and replace it fella.

Damn, thats not what I has hoping for...

My loop is now GPU, CPU, 2 rads, Res and Mobo. Any recomendatios for a pump, preferably one available from caseking.de, because thats where everything else is coming from.

 

[tinytomlogan]

same thing dude, ddc ultra. Id never use anything else.

Good good, I like the one I have, its nice and neat The one will be enough yea? dont need two in series or a dual top or anything like that do I?

 

[AMDFTW]

wernt you using that pump anyway,if the config you was using was fine before then why change it i guess you could use 2 together it wont hurt

 

[malibooroo]

I was, but then it broke as it says in the first post, so I was seeing if i should get a different one or use the same model... I can reuse my acrylic top at least

Go for the same, must have just been a bad one. Some can last years, some go pretty quickly.

Thanks for the help guys, looks like i'll be using my laptop for the next couple of weeks, and then i'll order my stuff and start my case transplant

swiftich mcp655 is a nice pump. That's what i use and haven't had any problems. Good flow too.
