Hyte is telling customers using their Thicc Q80 Trio AIO to stop using it and remove it from their systems immediately due to fluid leak. Apparently the issue is that an internal part couldn't stand up to being transported which leads to fluid leak.

so they took design notes from nvidia and there engineering genius with that internal pcie connector?
Never been a big fan of AIOs due to the corners cut in a lot of their designs. But not even surviving shipping is pretty bad.
What's worse is that it isn't repairable either? Says they will give you disposal instructions, which I'm guessing will involve purposefully cutting the tubes or something and sending a photo.
Most AIOs are intentionally not repairable. Very few are made with non-crimped tubing so that it is even difficult to repurpose the radiator in the future without a bunch of hackery. I have an AIO in the basement that the pump/block would have been ideal for a mini project and put the radiator asside for something in the future but I'd have to cut the tubing and deal with tubing adapters and such to have any hope of having it work. Had it used normal fittings I'd have that computer up and running already instead of planning other modifications to make it work in the chassis. To even refill most of them need to take the bottom plate off the cpu block take it off and fill it from there. If AIOs were just CPU waterblocks with a built in pump and standard fittings I'd be a lot less critical of them even taking into account the low quality pumps they use at least it wouldn't be pure wastage.
