Hi guys,

My rig is getting for 12 months old

i7 2600k @ 4.6 and custom loop watercooled
Hd6970
Wd velociraptor 600gb
Wd caviar green 1tb for iTunes junk
Ocz agility 3 ssd for OS
Asus p67 sabretooth

Question is I want a new graphics card which I would potentially add into my WC loop and a new mobo as I broke the USB 3 header on the board and as for the GPU just wanna keep up with the new cards. What are your recommendations?
 
I did have 2 6979's In xfire but spilled a little coolant whilst leak testing my WC loop and It stopped working....only a few teaspoons worth, is there a possibility that it would have dried out or is it just FUBAR as soon as fluid touches it?
 
Fluid (Mayhems) is non conductive but as soon as it hits the air, it becomes condctive (moisture in the air at a guess). I also spilt some coolant on my PSU and left it to dry for a couple of days and 'bang' it went after I tried it :(

I never knew that could happen.
 
the PC was not even connected to the mains at the time so there was no power...would thi make a difference...only reason I ask as opposed to trying it is i dont wanna open the rig up and fight the myriad of wc tubes to find it stil doesnt work
