I was cleaning out my father's desktop. I tore it down to the cpu. It looked physically Damp?
I stuck my finger into the corner of the bottom of the cpu. And when it came back, the corner of the cpu looked 'less' Damp.
So I looked at the socket. And it just sorta SEEMS Damp ish... I can't Feel it with my fingers tho...
It's got me concerned tho.
His computer seems to have the problem of randomly shutting down That's why I was cleaning it. But the shutdowns would only happen every few days completely randomly with no pattern
I'll recheck Nothing appears to be bloated damaged or stressed The CPU Cooler was an antech kuhler 620 It appears to have the correct level of sloshiness and does not appear to be physically damaged at all
ive got it running off of my front panel switch if the orientation of the radiator is vertical, so that the water lines are at the TOP. there is Definitely air in the loop.
just flip it so that the tubes are at the bottom and the pump clears out the bubbles and its golden.
Its a long shot but it could if it is expanding or moving is some odd way when on and heating/cooling. Or some freakish super slow leak that is only caused by some odd vibration. Super long shot but yeah i guess possible.
That's not the case I guess. In one of the pics he posted there are some visible screws on the copper plate of the cooler "corroded" by the liquid inside the cooler leaking. Also the noise coming from the cooler working is due to bubbles (as KuramaKistsune said).
@SoulFallen To mount the 212 the AMD mounting should be unscrewed from the board so a backplate is needed, unfortunately.
