To all who are interested in getting a Swiftech waterblock for your CPU, I would like to advise to look elsewhere.
My brand new mainboard just failed today because the hose around my Swiftech waterblock came loose. The waterblock is the only component in my system that does not have a barbed inlet. It has a simple copper pipe stub instead.
My GPU, pump and radiator connections are as snug and tight as the first day I put them on. The epoxy around my T-fitting and inlet valve is as strong as ever.
All of my clamps were tightened firmly, but not overtight. All of the clamps on all of my other devices, including my GPU block, are fine.
RMA time...
