H100I Problems

Hello everyone, 

So I have the H100i and today i saw that one of the tubes was cracked, so I removed the cooling from my case. 

When I touched the tubing, one of the barbs fell off, and I tried to attach it back on but failed, so I ordered compression barbs and put those on. I refilled the reservoir and turned the cooler on, but I see no circulation of water, and the waterblock light turns red. I can't afford to buy a new loop, but I'll buy a custom one later on. Is there a way to fix my H100i's water circulation?

 

Thanks

1. Pretty sure you can't change the fittings on a h100i.

2.H100i doesn't have a reservoir.

3. How can you even see the circulation of fluid? I don't think you can.

 

Throw the h100i in the bin and either get an aircooler until you have the money for the custom loop.

Sounds borked, get a Noctua NH-15. It'll outperform it as well as not leak.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Well either way, just throw it away. Not worth the risk. Also if you get another closed loop cooler like the H100i, don't mess around changing tubing and what not, thats most likely the reason this one has broken.
