cuplex kryos NEXT sTRX4 FC - broken screw
Freitag, 23. April 2021, 15:48
Hi all.
I have a terrible situation here - one of the screws on the waterblock broke. Just yesterday I was assembling the system and now my waterblock is holding on to three screws instead of four and in addition there is now a piece of broken screw inside the socket.
I have two questions - first - where to write about this incident and second - if someone had the same broken screw - how did you get its broken pieces from the socket?
P.S. This is my first water cooling system, built entirely on aquacomputer components

Thanks for the awesome technical support! Now all the screws are tightened.
BUT!
I am in the wildest shock. The thermal grease, which is included in the package - scratched all over my waterblock and CPU cover! I can catch the craters that are left with my fingernail. And where there were no screws, there are almost no scratches. The upper left corner is in the picture.
How much is the waterblock cover ? This is the included thermal paste... I'm shocked. I read that it can scratch, they had a bad batch. How did I get so "lucky". That's a damn shame!
I'm going to write to thermalgrizzly now.

never had any scrach using kryonaut.. as they say, there's lots of counterfeiting, and also the possibility to get bad batches.
When some say MX4 spreads better than kryonaut, clearly they didn't get the stuff i know. MX4 is super thick and kryonaut very fluid.
Now remember that you had your cooler secured with 3 screws for a while, that throws everything off balance. doesn't surprise me you have two opposite corners marked. just fiddling with the broken screw could do that. the paste squishes out and you got metal to metal contact.
unrealted but, breaking the screw isn't a good sign
' you probably applied too much torque too. it's m3.5, the kind of stuff you do finger tight.. and shouldered is even more fragile than a straight M3.5.
All the pressure is done by the spring. as soon as you feel the shoulder bottom out, that's it, no need to torque down at all.

Polished metal rubs against polished metal and produces scratches (you can see btw the small dots, like sand particles were pressed into) 
Genius! But it's unlikely about the balance - there are three pressure points anyway.
About the fake thermal paste it's unthinkable - I used the paste from the waterblock kit. And to break the powdered brass is not so difficult, as my example showed

Well, i buy a 5g syringe every 2 years at most sooo i don't read about it all that much '
Unless you have the issue, you won't search it.
The screw is more annoying yea. i wonder why they thought using a crappy brass screw was a good idea to compress such a spring.
I'm kinda surprised you have 3 that didn't snap!
All the coolers i ever bought, air or water, came with steel hardware.
