*Update #2*
Welp, got the screws kit! I'm amazed it got here faster than EK's. So I can finally add the GPU block to the loop. As for EK, here's an email I got from them yesterday:
" Hey Wil,
please accept my sincere apology for the duration of processing your order.
I'm afraid we had to request a transfer order from a different location, which caused a prolonged delay in shipping out your spare part. I understand this is causing serious inconvenience for you, so I have personally taken over your case and will ensure there will be no further delays.
I have escalated your order to the head of the shipping department. Since this is a time-sensitive order, please allow me to get back to you by tomorrow at the latest.
Maja
Team Leader of the Sales and Shipping Customer Service"
At this point I'm not going to ask for a refund as I'm already in too deep. I might as well continue the waiting game and when the screws get here, they get here.
In the mean time this weekend I'll go forward with the drain and tear down of my current loop, and redo the loop with the Gpu waterblock & new rad. It's been a while since the last maintenance anyways.
