It’s like that for me too, but when I plug in the power cable it feels secure. However I agree it would be better if it didn’t wiggle
You may have already checked , hope this helps.
Tygon R6010 Norprene tube 11,2/8mm (5/16"ID) - black
Tygon introduces a different type of tubing for your water cooling system! Norprene, not Neoprene, is a very special material. The most common materials used for tubing in PC water cooling systems are PVC or PUR, but Norprene as a...

@Wahaha360 I agree with these two. The connection wiggled a bit to begin with, but I've switched which direction my socket is turned twice now, and would love a more secure mounting solution that is also flexible enough to switch orientation without potentially breaking the clips of the current iteration.
You have to take the fittings into account to as they will sit higher than the heatsink. In my Ghost S1 even using Koolance low profile 90 degree adapters I was just barely able to clear the 66mm limit.
How hard was it to remove and reorient the the plug? I'm having a lot of trouble with it. Any tips?
Do what I did and order directly from the Alphacool website. Shipping cost is a pain but I justified it for doing my first full custom loop!
Just use one flat screwdriver to push the locking pieces. I don't know how to explain better!
I bought some of this stuff (which was linked earlier in the thread somewhere). Managed to get to my house the same day I bought it too lol.

Just received my Eisbaer LT 240 today and a lot of the fins appear to have an orange color on one side; could anyone with LT240 confirm if this is normal? Also, do I need shorter mounting screws for 15mm fans on the radiator?
Just installed this last saturday. Can confirm its good stuff. And cheap!I bought some of this stuff (which was linked earlier in the thread somewhere). Managed to get to my house the same day I bought it too lol.

Yeah, mine’s a bit like that. That’s the copper. They don’t take too much care with the paint job. Although I’ve heard painting radiators reduce performance anyway, so I don’t know if it’s necessarily a bad thing.
As @PBJ mentioned, it's the bare copper that you see. Paint on the radiator reduces heat transfer efficiency, but if that was the reason for the poor paint job, why didn't Alphacool just leave the copper bare? I think that would've looked much better.
Also, absolutely use shorter screws! Too long and you will damage the fins or worse the water tubes.
Some great info in here. Anyone else following this thread obsessively? Im sad I didn't find this sooner, hockey highlights on one monitor, this thread on the other. Now with covid, this thread on both monitors. ? Btw, tried calling EKWB from Canada, no dice, no ones home.
Try http://www.dazmode.com I live in Toronto and they carry alot of ek stuff, sadly for everything else you need to order from the states or from their main website.
Bare copper would likely oxidize over time and turn green like the Statue of Liberty. Copper oxide doesn't degrade the properties of the underlying copper (like rust does to iron), but it's definitely not "pretty".
Well it appears that at least with the Eisbaer LT 240 Alphacool simply didn't bother with the build quality. To name a few there are paint issues with fittings on the pump block, some colorization/staining on the cold plate, and a slight dent on the radiator. Plus the paint job on the fins of course.
If they kept the fin stack bare copper it would actually look pretty cool imo.
