      the only issue I see here with the water cooling gear are those EK classic tube fittings, EK have stopped making them, the last couple of years before they tried to force people into using those awful quantum fittings, the quality was so bad that they didnt even brand the classic fittings with the ek logo, their PETG tube quality is pretty crap these days as well.

    Hello. I just want to ask. I'm watching how you apply thermal paste to the CPU and I think it's not quite right. Did you then try to remove the cooler again and see where there were free spaces on the CPU where the thermal paste did not reach? I recommend spreading the thermal paste evenly over the entire surface of the CPU. This will ensure that the entire surface is free of air bubbles.

    How old is that PC? I blow out dust of my PC (radiator and fans) once per year and by seeing how little dust builds up in my PC in one year, than i can not imagine how long it takes to get so much dirt in your PC without cleaning.

    Scammed? How the hell were you scammed? You paid $200 for hundreds of dollars worth of usable parts. If the seller was selling it as working and you bought it for $200 actually thinking it would work, that sir, is totally on you. Of course it didnt work at that price.
