Fixing up an old EK set?

crazyfrog

Does anyone have experience replacing seals or aware of standard sizing?
I bought a GTX 1080 founders edition with EK water block fitted, EK supremacy intel water block, 240mm and 120mm copper rads, reservoir and d5 pump and the seals I can see are quite work where they seem to just sit flush with the surface they meant to be sealing.

 

I’d like to replace what seals I can on the fittings and gpu water block.
 

For the water lock a 2mmx143mm seems to be the right size as I estimated the old o-ring at something like 450mm long. 

For the fittings the old seals seem to be shaped rather than o rings but I think o rings should still work. I measured 11.2mm internal diameter, 16.2mm external diameter and a height of 1.2mm so thinking 2mmx11mm o rings will work. 

for the tubing I think the sizing is 3/8”x5/8”

You should be able to get replacement O-rings for the fittings pretty easily.

EKwb should still carry/stock them. Should be standard G 1/4.

Replacement seal for the GTX 1080 block might be hard.

You'll probably need to reach out to EKwb (or whoever made the block) to see if they still have replacement/spare parts available.

Thats brilliant.
 
I researched the waterblock already and found that EK discontinued it and failed to list the size hence I tried to measure it. I'd prefer not to buy from EK I'd like to source from generic suppliers in the UK.

EK supremacy I'll probably buy an o ring and resell as I dont see myself buyimg an intel rig for a while when AM4 cpus go for nothing. I've got a chinese waterblock that should work well enough for me.
