Hi,
So I installed the "Eisbaer Aurora LT360 CPU AIO", and the small plastic washer at the bottom doesn't make any sense to me. It makes the installation process extremely difficult, as you need to align it and remove every component around to push it back if it moves during the process. It's a real pain, and I've always been wondering about its purpose (attached in the 1st picture)
Then, after tightening the block, I missed the part in the documentation where it says to only tighten it by hand. Now, my block is all bent and ruined (see the second picture). As you can see from the image, the small plastic washer still makes no sense. In my previous AIO, it had a long, about 1cm, plastic washer/tube in the place where that small plastic washer is currently, which protected from over tightening and it stayed easily in place during installation (since the motherboard point where the washer currently sits was inside it, so it didn't move).
So, a bit disappointing to be honest. I love the GPU AIO and the ability to loop it with the CPU AIO and all, but I feel there's a design fault in there, never want to re-install that block again or am I not understanding something, or did I do something wrong here? Thanks.
