Hello
 
This is probably a stupid question but I have noticed that I am able to manipulate the tubing connected to the pump. By this I mean I am able to rotate the connection whereas on the end connected to the radiator this is of course not possible. If this part of the design or is the fitting loose? I would have thought both ends would have been soldered and thus unable to rotate but is this different on the EVGA Hybrid kit?
 
There is no leaking as such so far.
 
Thank you.

    Not a feature ... those "capture" the hose to keep it on the barb

    May be normal as I've experienced the same with other brand aio coolers as well. You should contact evga support to see what they have to say about it.

    It's either a design feature or a design flaw as all three of mine can rotate at the pump but are solid at the rad.
    This is by design. It would be quite difficult to mount the block in many situations if those stiff hoses were solidly mounted to the block and you had no way to position them.

    This has been the case with every Asetek-based AIO I have ever had.
