Hello all,



See the band cracks? Is this dangerous? Can it completely break and the liquid inside the radiator gets on my board, killing it?

Right now, it still feels firm and tight, but I don't know. Should I be concern? Should I enforce it with zip ties?

TIA!
 
Is that an AIO cooler? If so you might consider an RMA. But I would ziptie to be sure.
 
You won't be able to get zip ties tight enough to be usefull. If you don't mess with it the chances of it poping off are slim to none, what you need are worm clamps. However if you put a worm clamp on there while it will permanently fix the issue it will certainly void your warranty.
 
Yea i bet with the right hose clamp the pump would fail way before it ever leaks
 
If it's under warranty, I'd RMA, if it's not, a simple one would be construction paper (The one that changes colors if it gets water on it) and a hose clamp.

Better yet, swap it for another cooler se
