Good to see the GPU's and PSU are still working. That looks like a Z77 M1 Sniper board. I hope it still works. Worst case, their is someone by the name of Xponential on these forums that is selling a brand new one for $200 if you needed another. That also looks like the same block from the new H220 - I was going to get one, but I have been hearing they been having a lot of issues with them and now seeing this ... 😱 Sorry bud
 
oh dayam sorry to hear about this.

Seems like the oring on the pump drive wasnt secure properly.

did u do my leak test as listed on my guide?

Im fairly sure a leak test with tissue paper would of caught this.

and it leaked all of a sudden?

that doesnt sound right at the leak spot he's pointing.

That is clearly a oring fault.
Problem is he needs to send the drive back to swiftech as well, and cant do the RMA himself without michelle and gabe's permission.
^ this is why i dont buy swiftech pumps... i love swiftech company.. but I HATE THE WARRENTY.

But a oring to degrade on that nature means it must of gotten in contact with alcohol or some form of ether type solution.

Or he is like me, and cant keep his pump together without moding it somehow.
