Hey, happy holidays

i'm assembling a new rig and i decided to give it a go with the corsair H90 aio, but i've pierced the radiator while screwing the fan, basically i inserted the screw from the back of the case to the radiator so i could put the fan behind it but doing so i pierced it.. so now it as a small hole from the screw, my question is will it still work? how does the coolant flows inside the radiator?
Thanks for any help you guys can spare since i believe i have killed it, truly hope im wrong.

if you pull the unit from the case and run the pump away from your internal components, you'll see if it leaks or not. you should also be about to tip it to see if coolant flows out.................... if the radiator is made of copper or brass you can put a solder bead on the hole. expensive lesson to learn.

Well so far it seems to be fine, tipped it to see if any coolant dripped and nothing, i might got lucky and just punctured between a couple of fins on the radiator, now ill have to get some screws to mont the fan on the inside of the case pushing air out. gonna remove it now and see about some screws tomorrow and finish the job, i hope without problems.

So thanks a lot for your quick reply, cheers!

Well, so it's been up and running for some days now, cool and quiet, so it all ended without tears or coolant dripped, still facepalming about that silly rookie mistake tho.

Happy new year, cheers!
