Nice one, thanks for that! My email was on the 29/09, so I shouldn't have long to wait. I'm going to try and tie it in with a couple of other case jobs I've got pending...

Great news

The annoying thing is, you have to remove it from the CPU to get the pump number.

You don't need to I didn't, just ask for the kit.

What for..? You do not need to do tha to order a repair kit.

I filled the form in without pump number and emailed them as well and it's on its way.

Clairvoyant · 10 Sep 2022 at 13:00

On the form it asks for image of invoice, pump number

Leave it blank, as they are happy to send the kit to anyone who wants one.

Clairvoyant · 10 Sep 2022 at 13:14

I leave it blank, and it's highlighted red, meaning it needs filling out.

And it will not process.

Hmm redone the form and it worked.

mmmm, wonder if that changed - the process of ordering.? When I ordered mine no such detail was asked for. Probably to limit the orders to those who are directly affected, hence the extra details required.

Seems the same tho to me.

For me it worked, unless they changed it. I filled the form without the pump number and emailed them as well and it's on its way now.

Just email them and say you would like the kit as your worried about it leaking.

I have changed my gasket and plate over this morning, quite uneventful, which is good.
There seemed to be just enough liquid in the small bottle that is included with the kit, to then refill it after putting the new gasket in place.......

(some photos above)

I noticed no gasket deterioration nor anything that had built up in the narrow fins on the block. Using a thin piece of white paper I ran it through a few fins and zero debris was removed.
The replacement gasket felt very different to the rubberised one it replaced.
My AIO had been installed and running daily for around 15 months.
At least it is done now.
Oh, and I did remove the rad from the PC and did the whole thing on a table, quite organised for me.

Glad it was an easy change over and good of you to post the pics.

Has anyone else had anything in the last few days? Seems to have gone a bit quiet...
