Leaking swiftech microres

[kipling100]

My microres (rev 2) is leaking from both inlet and outlet ports. Does anyone else have this problem or know what to do? I've tried both the nylon barbs that came with the kit as well as some metal barbs. The metal barbs leak much more.


Thanks for any help.

Pretty much a universal fix for anytime you have leaking threads of any type, not just for PC watercooling.

sometimes you need to change your O ring with new ones. They swell or they get brittle or sometimes they just dont seal all the way. Also tigheting too hard will cause the orings to loose their proper seat.
