Back in the AMD K6 days, I was one of the early watercooling moders. I took the square bit off of a sewage cleanout plug and trimmed it off with a Dremel to fit, then glued it snugly over the top of the CPU. Added a couple of hose barbs, a heater core out of some late model vehicle, and was off and running. One day I noticed some algae growing in the clear tubing. So... I added some bleach to kill the algae. It was shortly thereafter that I learned that bleach eats aluminum... what the top of the CPU was made out of.
Probably going to date myself... (Score:3)
