Do NOT purchase swiftech aio

[NeonX]

You didn't pull on the tubing while installing right? or keep turning the swivel barb fitting too much, perhaps it might have came loose after some handling during installation..
My H320 X2 no issues with coolant leakage thus far, other than a random led controller issue which I somehow fixed.

I took extra care the second time cause of the previous leak. The leak is not at the barb, rather the o ring on the cpu block

Frankly speaking, Swiftech AIO products already so rare in local markets. I remembered chasing PC Themes and subsequently Tech Dynamic to bring in the Swiftech X2 series. Took Tech Dynamic a full 5 months to get stocks from Swiftech, partly coz Swiftech's manufacturing was rather slow to churn out the stocks, partly coz Tech Dynamic thankfully rejected bringing in Swiftech's pioneer batches of products that usually had problems. So currently Swiftech's AIO series already so scarce in local markets (only a few pieces per monthly or bi-monthly shipment), even if entire local market boycott's Swiftech's AIO products, it will only affect Tech Dynamic's handling of Swiftech's products, it will not affect Swiftech's sales or reputation at all.

Not asking people to not buy swiftech products, just not the aio.

Tech dynamic though, they are excellent

feel for u budder..... time, efforts and frustrations... not to mentioned money....


we should take a leaf out of this incident....

Risk of going under water.

My first AIO from Deepcool pump fail in the middle of the night while I'm torrenting. Caused my CPU's TIM to dry up.

2nd AIO from Swiftech, sold it off BNIB b4 I use it.

3rd AIO from EKWB, CPU block leaked but lucky it's a small leak and EKWB refunded me the whole amount.

LOL, what the hell u torrenting.


must be very "hot"

anyway, Deepcool - AT Product what you expect

You can try spread message at OCN forums, they have a large swiftech community. I used a Swiftech h220 before, it worked safely thankfully, but i did do a leak test for 1 hour. Swiftech uses custom water cool parts, it has a more complicated assembly as compared to corsair asetek oem, and more danger to mishandling in transit in exchange for better cooling.

this is why I'm still so skeptical about AIO/watercooling. i always feel that electronics and water don't mix, and on top of that, generally people don't overclock, and don't need the extreme cooling measures, but a lot want it for looking good. on that note, i do agree it looks extremely cool and clean with one.

end of the day, it is what you want and how you want to use it, but i do feel for you TS. must be a freaking painful and frustrating time and process.

good luck with your future purchases.

WC is also great for building quiet machines, not just OCing and bling.

It is actually safer than air cooling using giant heatsink, and distilled water is non conductive.

Based on the description of the problem, it appeared that the waterblock top is not properly secured. However, this is unlikely to happen since the block should be tested before it is shipped out of the factory.

Like I always said, do a leak test before powering up your rig!!

Hmm... how is water cooling more safer than air cooling?

Less load stress on the motherboard.

Less load stress on the motherboard.

Hmm... if the motherboard is secure properly shouldn't be a problem la.

Dont buy those aio type that has custom water cooling parts in it ba. Just buy the proper custom water cooling and use good fittings such as Bitspower fittings. These are some consideration so that you will have lesser problems in the future. Good fittings with good o-rings, the lesser the problem will be.

Cause most of the leak cases are from the oring or the fittings that has an issue.

Resolving Issue, so taking down post.

 

[Gloom me]

Another one?!

Spoiler

 

[NeonX]

Wha. Good luck bro. Better check for damage on your parts

 

[XcoldstarX]

Might be wise to do a leak test by putting paper towels around all the connectors and on top of the graphics card (with a plastic sheet under the paper towel) for a week before removing them.

 

[Vodkilla]

well it was running fine for almost 2 months, so it was not an initial set up problem

 

[NeonX]

Oh tech dynamic cant replace your parts unless u using zotac or what. Thing is swiftech compensate one.

Have you found out which part leak? From what you say around like reservoir leak, pretty common

 

[timpeh82]

If just want to cool CPU only.
I suggest corsair h100 series
I have yet to hear people complain about it leaking
people can use 2-3 years without any issues
corsair closed loop water cooling seem the best

 

[NeonX]

Yes I’m back to using corsair aio too

Try to place radiators and stuff at the bottom or to the side also tube routing away from PC components as much as possible though case design would pretty much dictate these I guess.
Part of the reason why I choose my case is that it has an upside down design. It's like turning your typical PC case upside down in that it has the PSU placement at the top and the motherboard orientation having the PCIE slots facing the top. This would minimize liquid hitting PC parts in the event of a leak thus minimizing damage hopefully.

Just my 2 cents

doesnt that heat from the radiator just goes up to the gpu and the mobo?hot air rises right?
