TerminalFrost Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Been using this on my EVGA 2080 Ti XC Ultra for approx. 10months, within that time I have switched cases 2 times, each time having to plan tubing and switch fittings around and I am yet to see any kind of leak. As mentioned and from what I see, the only way for this to leak is by applying way too much pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navarra.r12 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 HE FIXIIIIT! explosions !! Interesting fix and so I want to get people's opinions on the best type/brand of silicone to buy. The one he uses seems like he just had it on hand without doing much research. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDoyen Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 My first suggestion would be : if it isn't broken, don't fix it :) If it leaks, check your tubing runs, see if there's too much stress being put onto the waterblock. Still leaking and is still under warranty : Corsair support, and try to get a RMA and replacement, hopefully with the new sturdier manifold. As for silicone, i never used gasket makers like he has. It would have to be something that resists the chemicals used in coolants, and doesn't leaches solvents in the loop.. and doesn't melt acrylic of course..

Monstieur Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 There's a new XG7 RTX 2080 Ti SE with a 3rd screw in the middle of the manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dator Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I registered on the forums just to say this. I read about all the leaks and saw them putting pressure to cause the leak and I thought when I build my computer I wouldn't do that so it shouldn't leak. Man I was wrong. Just filled the tubes today and turned on the pumps and started leaking within 5 minutes. No pressure no nothing and it leaks. I guess I can't be mad at anyone but myself since I knew Corsair designed such a crap product. Here's hoping flex tape works. If you want a video showing it let me know. I'll be glad to post one.

Return it and buy the new SE version with the 3rd screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dator Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Return it and buy the new SE version with the 3rd screw. According to Corsair's website I enter in my graphics card which is the Evga rtx 2070 super black and it tells me the FE is the recommended water block. Are you sure if the SE will fit?

SubcutaneousOne Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I created an account just to say this. The behavior from the regular forum members on this thread has been INCREDIBLY disappointing. So many here have been attacking anyone worried about a problem. Whether the problem is serious, whether you want to call it something else etc If there is a potential for unexpected accidental leaks that is less than ideal. You want to blame other people for an oversight by Corsair. If anyone needs real help or input on a Corsair product they would be better off going literally anywhere else for help.

LeDoyen Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Well, corsair did put the fix everyone was pointing at in the beginning, so it didn't matter what people were trying to defend. It was a silly design, an oversight and pretty desperate penny pinching. Luckily it worked for most users but well.. they learned their lesson with the 3000 series waterblocks and made blocks worth their price. (the latest revision 2000 series block was also a bit better). Brand loyalty is silly. You pay for a product expecting a certain level of quality depending on brand placement. If you get substandard quality, it's simply a bad product period. So yea, as with youtube reviews and other medias, always take what people say with a grain of salt. There'll always be shills, haters, fanboys etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
