Unfortunately, I made a mistake with The Spicy yesterday; the idea to use the watercooling loop 2 from MP90 to cool The Mobo waterblock was only good to do some test. So I tested it and then, I started to download Asgard's Wrath on Oculus and let them run (MP90 & The Spicy) many hours. During this time, a got a call from the job (I am on call duty) to plug a backup field generator (the engine strap on the first one broke and it was overheating). When I came back home, MP90 was on sleep (I forgot to change the power settings in Windows) and the water inside the EKWB monoblock was literally boiling. I cut the power and I waited it to cool down (The Mobo was so hot that I wasn't able to touch it without burn myself) before test it for damages.
I crossed my fingers and turned it on; The Mobo is working! I feel better now! I agree, was very lucky with my mistake but The Spicy didn't go thru that without any damage; the soft tubes turned white. I suppose this material didn't support boiling water without being altered.
The irony in this story is the generator and The Mobo were overheating because their pumps wasn't working, both almost in the same time. Life happening is curious sometimes.
I will open The Spicy tonight (when the kids and wife will be all sleeping) and fix it. I will come back with an update about that.
