Part: XPSC Laing DDC acrylic Reservoir

Hi, I switched to watercooling and it's been going perfectly fine for around A week now - i've been checking for leaks every day and hasn't found any.

While gaming tonight my PC suddenly shut off and i noticed a large pool of liquid at the bottom of my Case which caused my PC to shut down, I've managed to locate the leak to my Laing DDC acrylic Reservoir and it's located in the corner of the joined pieces, My question for you is if there's any fix for this or am i going to have to return it and hope for a working one?

I also tried blowing into the Res to see if any more air escaped through any other leaks and found alot at the top of the Res also.

Any help will be Appreciated.

I think the best solution is to return it.
it shouldn't leak in the first place. so you should get one that doesn't.

Hopefully I'll recieve a answer from the shop that i bought it from tomorrow and find a fix for it.

It happens. You have the XSPC res for a DDC 3.x pump? It's leaking from a crack in the res where the sides are glued to the bottom?

If so, yep, RMA it. No matter what, tear it down ASAP and let the pump dry well. You DON'T want water to get into the wires in the pump. More than a few threads on this over the year, catch it early, save your pump.

Yeah that res has a notorious leak reputation. May want to return for a better one.

Will do my best to have it returned, hopefully my other pc componments hasn't crashe aswell, and the pump should be safe.

Thanks for the quick responses
