I've been using the Swiftech MCP35X with the stock pump top without incident for some time now. The pump performs great. But, I want to add some pizzaz to my rig. For some time, I've been thinking of swapping the stock top with an XSPC acrylic top. But, that would void the warranty. However, the top would look great with the blue LED's and I'm going to take the chance. I do want to minimize bricking the pump.
I know, I know I'm treading on thin ice. Martinsliquidlab talks about problems flooding out the PCB board because the top was incorrectly installed, not allowing for proper seating of the 'O' ring.
Before I open up the pump, anyone have suggestions on what I need to look for and to insure is correct before I make this swap? Do I need to insure that all the screws are torqued the same? What inch pounds are the screws torqued?
Thanks for your reply,
