ek supremecy evo leaking

as above the full copper block,the leak is on the bottom /cpu side of the block,seems to be coming from where the retention bracket is sandwiched between the two pieces of copper.anyone seen this before?

Do you have a picture of the leakage?

It might help the EK rep here to diagnose for you as well.

unfortunatly not mate,loop now drained and block disconected.the block is only two months old so i didnt want to open it up ,just took it out..

Did you open the block prior to the leak? Sounds like the O ring is not seated correctly or is faulty.

Strip it down and check the O rings as it sounds that one is not seted properly, been piched or has failed. Clean it up, reseat the O rings and retighten the 4 screws. Put it in a loop by itself and test it for several hours.

not opened the block ,also my usualy solid graphics graphics card gave up the ghost last week,maybe too much of a coincedence.have i got any come back if this is the case?(not at this time saying it is just wondering)

JeffyB · 2 Mar 2015 at 12:16

Were the graphics cards watercooled and in the same loop? I ask as you may have some form of restriction in the loop, possibly coolant buildup in the cpu blocks jetplate/fins. Do you use a coloured coolant by any chance?

As the other members suggested, I would open the block to make sure that the o-ring is seated correctly.

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 13:01

i have not had this block open thats why i was reluctant to open it in the first place but i shall do as you say.@ jeffib only distilled water and bionuke in loop mate.

Open her up and have a good look for any gunk and O ring irregularities.

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 13:39

all seemed fine with block, oring ok and no gunk in vains,strange :confused:

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 17:28

still leaking will try and upload pic.

JeffyB · 2 Mar 2015 at 17:45

Has the retention plate been bent at all?

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 18:19

not that i noticed last time will drain and check again after dinner

[/URL][/IMG] edit one thing i did notice though was that one of the screws was discoloured half way down the thread

JeffyB · 2 Mar 2015 at 18:45

Is there any gap at all between the copper base and the retention plate?

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 19:19

no it seems fine mate.

Cerelia · 2 Mar 2015 at 20:09

Looks like the you'll need a new o-ring, proberly thins out too much when stretched.

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 20:19

first time it was opened up was today, on the ek reps advice, but not saying you are wrong infact glad of your input

lordfletch · 2 Mar 2015 at 23:35

JeffyB · 3 Mar 2015 at 10:08

Contact EK, they are usually very helpful with this sort of stuff.
