gnarlog Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Ahoy loop modders! I have tried #### fittings into two different brand new Pacific SW1 blocks with no luck. After the first turn, the threads are hopelessly too tight. I've tried fittings from five different manufacturers with the same result. All of the aforementioned fittings screw neatly into the three different older Pacific line blocks that I have. Am I missing something? Incidentally, I put on my 5x magnifying glasses to make sure that I could see that I was #### the fittings straight onto the SW1 threads. Given that I've had the problem with both the initially purchased block and its replacement, I'm thinking maybe others may have run into the same issue? I hope I can get it sorted because its a beautiful block! Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlog Posted November 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Here is a picture that hopefully kind of shows the problem. The block on the left is an older Pacific something or another, I can't remember, but the fittings screw very easily into it, and as you can see on the right, the fittings start to screw in on the SW1, but can't go any further without torque that would damage it.

TT Hank Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Dear Gnarlog, Sorry for the late reply. After processing an internal check of our current stock, it seems that the G1/4 screw threads of the SW1 CPU Water Blocks are normal. Could you go for the product RMA service for replacement? We are willing to investigate the defective product at your hand.
