Hi,
I've sent a support ticket but as I didnt get any kind of confirmation I'll write here.
After assembly of the loop, left it running for 30 minutes with PC completely unplugged and the 90º fitting started leaking from the rotary part of it, not the G1/4 or the hose connections. After taking out the 90º fitting it looks like it has a machining defect on one side.
Drained the loop and replaced the 90 with a normal fitting (looks bad, actually the whole loop doesn't look great, it'll be changed soon). Left it running for 30 minutes, no leaks so I connected the rest of the PC up and let it idle for 30 minutes, coolant temp kept at 22C.
Now the main issue is, I left a game running and as the coolant temp rose (peaked at 34C) a leak formed in the pump/res combo.
I mounted it up straight from the box.
Do I need to RMA it?
I'm attaching pictures with descriptions for both the fitting and the pump/res combo.
PS: I've flushed the rads before installation with regular destilled water.
PS2: The liquid used is TecProtect 2.
Edit: Added peak coolant temp.
