I would personally return it and get a fresh one. Cheaper than eventual Oooppss :bsod:

Leaking from the top right barb? or fins or what?

Use some silicone sealant.

I don't even know where it's leaking from, all I know is there's water where there shouldn't be :slapass:

I think I will send it back, too much hastle to fix it and I shouldn't have to if it's brand new

IF its from the barb area - use some 5-6 wraps of teflon tape on the threads.

It's not from the barb area, it's the opposite side. I have no idea where it's coming from, it's somewhere under the metal that you screw the fans into.

The barbs that came with it are great, they have some white stuff on the threads that blocks all the water

I told swiftech that I want to cross ship, and they better do that for me. Pisses me off so much how unlucky I've been on my first watercooling job :stick:

that really sucks that your having such bad luck.. but I believe it will be worth the hassle when u get your setup all done.. should be very nice.

Yup, that's what I keep thinking.. 2800 on stock volts is the goal, I think it will happen. Maybe 550MHz GPU :D

Hope I didn't destroy the damn pump, I let it run for like 10 seconds and no water was going into it, because it was all going out of the radiator :slapass:
