Grrrrrrr!!!!!!! (Screw broke off CPU water block)
Jesus, right in the middle of FINALLY assembling my 2500K system to start crunching and a fucking screw frigging broke off on the CPU waterblock mounting plate!!!
![]() ![]() ![]() I have a sneaking suspicion that the damn thing was fucked up from the get go! Got a Swiftech GTZ awhile back and noticed that two of the mounting screws had, in the past, been installed with a screw driver rather than the outer thumb screw usage. A couple of them went in kind of tough but were going in okay. Was adjusting from side to side when one of them just let go! Was using my fingers to tighten them. That is what makes me believe there was a crack in that screw to start with. None the frigging less, this fucking build is, once again, put on the damn back burner until I can pick up the back plate and screws! Naturally the mounting screw broke off flush with the back plate. ![]() God Damn It, I am about to sell this shit off guys!!!! Every damn time I go to put this system together, some other fucking crap happens! On a good note, I did get the pump and res mounted and plumbed.

Hey stinger if you want to send the block to me I can see what I can do with extracting the broken screw and repairing the threads. We also do machine work at my job.

Try super glue on a screw driver you don't need. Just rember to let it set.

How do you think I would feel if I broke a bolt in the CPU socket on my LGA2011 board. The back plate is built into the motherboard. Now you're short a P9X79 Deluxe. That's one expensive brick. I like the socket being built into the motherboard because it keeps installation easy, but it makes you worry about the mount itself.

Well crap, since this dang 2500K is on the back burner for yet another week, I am putting my little ION system crunching.
At least it will be another 4 cores crunching for the team. :-)

patience my friend. I own a DSM, and these things are nothing but headaches most of the time. I've owned it for over five years now and I love it to death. There's always setbacks my friend, take it easy, use this time to cool off and go at it once the new mounting hardware comes in! Keep us posted but don't sell it!

I just wished I could find a fixable 1G for a good price. Around here they are either been to mexico or back (yea RICEd to the MAX) or they are in the junk yards with too much wrong.
