My PC as attached had a leak
I found the leak and it's on the cpu I removed the acrylic tubes and look completely distorted on picture 2 ...

Do you have an answer to what might cause this PC has never been above 50 ° C

Please help me here, I do not know anymore I have Open the carts and I do not know if they are going to work, so I'm in panic mode

Greetings

I've never done watercooling before so have no idea but is it possible that you over tightened the threads? IIRC many say finger tight or a 1/4 turn with a wrench does the job.

Not used hard tube before so not even sure if this would even happen.

If the tube was a bit short and pulling the GPUs up slightly, it may have steadily gone back to its proper position and distorted the tube.

Hot fluid can cause the tubes to warp.

Are those ek hardline fittings? Mines leaked past the seal and i gave up on hardline after that. EK makes the worse fittings ive ever seen.

It looks like they are EK.

Can't comment on the hardline fittings but i found their compression fittings to be very good. Only thing i had problems with was their 90 degree angle fittings.
