Anyone ever heard of one of these leaking? I had a quick google and couldn't see anything.

Here is the story...

I have my FT02 on top of a piece of wood (off an old wardrobe) to keep it off the carpet. When I moved my tower the other day and there was a nice puddle of water underneath (on the wood)...

The water was below the 1st case fan (approx location), but the radiator for the 920 is above the 3rd fan. :-s

There was no disruption to the thin layer of dust under the fans on the intake slot...

Being the curious person i am i had a little taste of the water and it tasted bitter lol.

I gave the radiator a tiny wiggle and I could still hear water inside. I was uber delicate when fitting the cooler to ensure that this doesnt happen.
I have hada close inspection of the internal components and there doesnt seem to be any signs of water

temps at idle (whilst writing this) are: 26-35-36-33 (C)

highest core at 100% load after just over an hour of Prime was 62 (C).

Everything is at stock, using the pre-applied thermal paste.

Do these temps seem ok or does it appear to have lost some fluid?

If so what could this liquid be? i quizzed everyone and no one admitted to spilling a drink etc lol... condensation?

Thanks :)
 
Any signs of a water run along the tubes? with dry fingers is there any moisture around the joints?
 
I'll keep my eye on it... I know u did a mini review on the cooler using a 2500k and the temps u had were quite a bit lower than mine.

what's a comfortable/acceptable temp for 100% load at stock and OC'd? On a 2600k.
 
It should be about the same as I got, but not entirely identical as I have a different case, your OC will be different to mine also (voltage used and frequency).
