AIO Water Cooler Loose Fittings Leak

judahg460 · Aug 9, 2018

Hi, I have a Antec Kuhler h2o 620 cooler. Today I noticed there was a little bit of leaked fluid from my cooler. The input fitting to the radiator had some liquid around it so that is where I am assuming it came from. My question is what type of fittings does this cooler have and how would I tighten them? To me it looked like toothed fitting so I pushed the tube in a little bit but I don't know if it worked yet.

That's all closed system, fittings are soldered to radiator and hoses are pressed fitted on them. I'm afraid there's no repairing it. I would get rid of it fast.

Ok, well I don't want to spend tons of money on a new aio so would a hyper T2 or a hyper 212 work just as good? Or should I bulid a custom loop, because I want to get my FX 8150 to 5 Ghz

Neither of them would get you close to 5GHz.

judahg460 · Aug 10, 2018

well what cooler would you suggest for that

CountMike · Aug 11, 2018

Did you have 5GHz at all ? That's very high for Bulldozer, also needs heavy MB.
Only air cooler that might let you OC anywhere close would be Noctua NH-D15, maybe D14 or CM 612 Evo with which I managed 5GHz with FX8350 but very close to max temperatures and throttling often.

I dont have a bulldozer, i have a Zambezi. I have a 990 fxa-gd80 which is a realatively good board but on Linus Tech Tips he could only get it to 4.5 Ghz with the same board i have. I do have a sabertooth 990fx r2.0 though, I dont know how good that one is for OCing. Mine is at 4.4 because of my cooler. The only other board i have is a fried ASRock.

Linus has a whole team and unlimited time to mess with it to get that one 30 second clip for the video.

Well I got very close to his clock speed. My question is can i get any higher with a sabertooth 990 FX R2.0 ???

Have you heard of "Silicone lottery" ? All you can do is to try yourself, when it comes to OC there are no guarantees.
All I know is that I had to actively cool VRM and NB to get to 4.9 -5GHz. on my FX 8350 and GA-990XA-UD3 which is one tough cookie.

Well guess what? I turned this into a custom loop with a resovoir: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3767783/fixing-leaky-aio-liquid-cooler-toothpaste-thermal-paste.html
