Hi I have a radiator which the bleed screw rivet has come away from the radiator. Can I repair it by installing a new screw rivet as I have a screw rivet tool please see pictures. I would appreciate your thoughts as the radiator still has loads of use left in it. It’s a feser xchanger 360. I also have a brand new xchanger 360 and a used 120 rad. Should I use the brand new one and the 120 in my new build or sell them. I can’t see how another rad can outperform the xchanger as it was top dog in its day and pure copper. Or am I wrong and can get better performance full copper radiators on the market today. But I am a bit nostalgic and love my xchangers especially as the brand new one is super rare

i don't think radiators have changed that much to be honest.. I still have a couple Thermochills kicking around and they are still performaing as it should.

Also it depends on the rest of your setup. What will it be cooling and what CPU/GPU do you have etc.

Not sure about replacing the screw rivet, you can try then soldering it to prevent leaks but i would pressure test it first before putting it into a loop, failing that, just use your new one
 
Pictures aren't working properly so can't see them, really need to see what you mean to try and diagnose if a repair is possible.
