Default Potential Antec Kuhler leak/malfunction? - 08-05-2012, 05:41 | posts: 1

Hello Guru3D. Longtime lurker but first time registering an account.

I have a concern with my new Antec Kuhler 620 and was wondering if you all can help me out.

See the area that I circled? The cap around the hose. That one cap for some reason moves left and right around the pipe while the other one + the two on the radiator don't move around. Is that defective or something? Not talking about the actual pipe being able to move for better positioning but that little cap I circled.

And see the arrow I made? At that area there was what seemed like liquid or some sort of oil. I used a q-tip and it picked up what seemed like this yellow sort of liquid.

Is this thing defective?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I can’t say if it’s defective or not but if you have any doubts it’s likely best to return it; not really the sort of thing you want to take chances with.

This seems like reason enough to think it's defective, I would immediately uninstall it and RMA
