GIven it’s an all in one i’m not really surprised. Is that corrosion or gunk being pushed out ?

I once had a pump fail, but not anything catastrophic like that. Looks like the cold plate wasn’t fully secured somehow, or something similar. Odd.

for reference, it sprang some kind of leak, It fried the the GPU and mainboard for sure, probably the CPU as some of the gunk had invaded the socket (am4 MSI b450) . Its one of those cases of if something is gonna screw up, do so spectacularly. been building pcs for years using AIO and have never had a leak from one, 1 pump failure many years ago(rattling pump, DOA) but never copper oxide and brown gunk coming out of the sides
This is a corsair H80i V2 bought back in 2020
I am in awe more than anything

Looks like it has been opened before with all the screws being stripped like that.

I’ve never seen one like that, neat.
Tho sucks for anyone who owns it 😛

Are those screws stripped or just blurry picture?

This was definitely taken apart before, those phillips screw heads are stripped like crazy

I am not lying i just mis identified a screw and you all piled on one thing, assumed that because i was wrong, that I must be lying, you guys are actually toxic. This is the first time I have ever looked closely at them and I have never taken this apart. If someone knows the actual type of screw they used please speak up.

Happens when the cold plate gasket starts to fail, allowing air into the AIO. Seems more common with the high TDP CPUs that result in the cold plate having to absorb more heat.

I guess I am just bad at identifying screw types. One could even say I screwed up….
