    wat sort of fittings are they on the cpu block are they those compression fittings or whateva there called
    I have 3 girlfriends, my job, my car, and my computer. My job is the rich girl, just spend some time with her and she will provide a supply of cash. My car is the material girl, a lot of money from the rich girl goes on her. Have to be careful to keep her happy. My computer is the faithful girlfriend, I dont need to spend much on her but she is still good to me.

    It turns out it just needed to be tightened further. Here's a pic from last night before I started leak testing.

    Damn - there's not much room between that Corsair ram cooler and the graphics card . Did you put anything between them to prevent shorting?

    I'm going to have the same problem unless I use the lower slot - still trying to decide .
