hi there. I just bought my self a coolermaster seidon 120v liquid cpu cooler. When I opened the packaging the plastic the radiator was in had a small amount of liquid (yellow, green ish) I was wondering if that is normal or it is leaking. I mean I don't want to put a leaking cpu cooler in my PC. Thanks.

What do you mean it doesn't help you? I said connect the pump to the PSU via molex adapter and then jump the psu as he does in the video. Make sure the pump is the only thing plugged in.

Also for a very large case, why not get a better/ larger cooler? I myself wouldn't put that cooler in my pc if there appears to be a leak. Not worth taking the chance.

That could mean there's a leak in your unit, or it could have come from another unit. Easy enough to check - wipe off the current liquid, then put it in a container that can catch leaks (e.g. an otherwise-empty plastic bucket) for an hour or so, and see if there's any in the container afterwards. Might be wise to also check with the pump running but still in such a container instead of mounted on the motherboard.

I'll wait for my coolermaster evo 212 to come then. Not
Worth risking. Thanks for the help!
