With the PC market shrinking, the current DIY computer market is basically based on players as the mainstream, high-end trend is obvious. DIYER is no longer satisfied with a computer that can run up, the computer not only requires good performance, but also enough dazzle; side penetration, water cooling, overclocking are indispensable. Integrated water cooling is very easy to use, and generally has a cool lighting effect, is a tool with the side through the chassis, sought after by many DIYER.
Cooling system
However, any DIY player who has played water-cooled thoughts will first think of a problem that is caused by the water-cooled complex mechanical structure. Light damage strikes, while leaking water - destroying the land. The expensive water cooling, how can you use it safely? If you choose integrated water-cooled, you must be very concerned about after-sales issues.
My water-cooling is Ankake God H600 one-piece water-cooled, 120mm cold-discharge, with LED colored water-cooled head, 6-piece thick fan blade fan, and finally, the country's five-year warranty (I later learned).
Recently, my little cold strike, but fortunately I was only the first stage this time, but the integrated water-cooled radiator had a problem, but still scared me a cold sweat, here to tell you about my maintenance process.
Cause: I used my computer as usual. I just watched the movie on the Internet. There was no big background program running. Suddenly, after a burst of sparks, the chassis raised a cloud of smoke and the room was burnt. taste. The computer has fallen into a black screen at this time, and I immediately decided to pull the power directly. My TMD was frightened, but at that time I didn't think of the water cooling problem. I first thought about the motherboard or power supply. .
Restarting the power supply at this time is a taboo, because the occurrence of such a "large-scale" circuit failure is necessarily caused by a high current short circuit, so that some plastic materials melted and burned, it is possible to produce such a large amount of smoke. Never try to power up without first checking the cause of the fault. At this point in time, in addition to expanding the scale of damage, I am afraid there will be danger.

Open the chassis, disconnect all wires, and remove the video card, memory, and all hard disks one by one. Carefully check whether there are traces of arc left on the surface. After all, it is a pcb board, and failure will certainly leave a mark. After eliminating these reasons one by one, short the power 24pin and found that the power supply can work properly, eliminating power problems. Looking back on the board again, I saw this after I removed the water-cooled heat sink and the motherboard.
Water-cooled head power supply cable blows
The entire cable is exposed. It can be seen how high the temperature of this line was at that time. The black insulating layer was all powdered. No wonder there was so much black smoke coming out.
The tragedy has only just begun. My water-cooled purchase was placed in 2014. In an unknown tb shop, after contacting the store for half an hour, the boss pushed 456 and asked me to go to the agency. Funny me? Where do I know who my agent is?
In desperation to open the Antai official website, I did not even find a phone call, only this one:
Try to add WeChat. As a result, people do not work on Saturdays and Sundays, and they cannot get through the phone. Unexpectedly, on Monday, the WeChat platform took the initiative to contact me. The screenshots are as follows. A very friendly, gentle customer service sister, greatly praised! You ask how do I know she is a sister? The people called me and the voice was very sweet!
There is no resignation, there is no reason to condone consumers, this feeling is very comfortable! I announced that I will bring my own dry food. Since then, Antec has made a powder.
END, currently waiting for the new model H650, but Antec's excellent service will allow me to continue to support their products.
By the way, notice: EVGA X99 motherboard and Sotec 1060 graphics card are currently on the way, so stay tuned! (Small value does not allow me to take 1070/1080 test, I had to spend money to measure 1060, seeking the essence)
