Cracked threading EK Supremacy MX Block

Yesterday I got my motherboard back from repairs which had a defective 24pin ATX socket.

I had to wiggle the ATX cable around near the socket while pressing the power button to boot up my rig. O.o

 

So I went installing everything back in the case. Putting al the tubing back, filled up the loop and start leak testing.

I immediately noticed a leak from the outlet port of my CPU block. First I thought I didn't tighten the fitting good enough. It was pretty tight so I tried remounting that fitting 2-3 times but it kept leaking.

 

Starting to become a little frustrated I decided to inspect the CPU block...P1010476.JPGP1010471.JPG

 

Yup, that doesn't look pretty. I think there was to much tension between that outlet and the inlet the GPU block terminal. :(

 

So yeah, not a question here. I just wanted to share this experience.

I'm still wondering why I didn't leaked before I sent my motherboard back for repairs. I might have been really lucky with that.
