I recently bought a H100i in the hopes of overclocking my i7 3770K to over 4 GHz, and i was wiping of the standard thermal paste a bit fell in to the crack between the plastic and copper. Someone thought it was a good idea to open the screws to get it out I told him not to worry about because it was going to let the coolant out, but he went ahead and did and about 3mls to 5mls of coolant dripped out. he said that he had pressure on it the entire time so no air got in.
I tired the H100 out and I'm getting temps of 36 on a 25-8 day when the box said 4.5 GHz maxed out on a 25 degree ambient so it doesn't make sense to me. In any case i was just wondering do you think the small coolant leak is affecting the performance of the H100 and should get another.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry if this in the wrong forum.
