XSPC issues safety notice on D5 Dual Bay Reservoir

[brechan69]

It's been so long since I last visited dazmode forums; that I can't seem to find the spot for manufacturers news, so I hope that this is a good place to put this... http://www.tweaktown.com/news/31792/xspc-issues-safety-notice-on-d5-dual-bay-reservoir/index.html/index.html?utm_source=ttnewsletter&utm_medium=ttem ail&utm_campaign=ttcs

Saw this while reading my morning mail " Today, XSPC released a safety notice regarding its D5 Dual Bay Reservoir in regards to the top of the reservoir warping and allowing a tiny gap to open up. The company says that in most cases this warping will not cause a leak and is purely a visual issue, but there have been a few cases where it led to a very slow leak of coolant..."



Just thought everyone who bought the earlier model should be aware of the situation.

Mine doesn't look to bad as of yet, I should properly contact them anyways since I'm currently not using it.
Note mine is a V1

This is all cool with exception of the leakage also happening between other screws as well. Vinyl was wrong material to start with and I was saying that for many months now, but nobody want to listen.

You chances of getting leakage is higher if you run "hot" system and plastic becomes soft and may bulge enough to break seal.

Such as mine. Its started to warp pretty hard. Time for a res change. :\
