So my XSPC 750 X2O pump/res exploded...
The original pump which came with the RS240 kit was making noises out of the box and eventually died within a month, XSPC sent me a replacement quickly so I ran that without any issue or noise for about 18 months until it died this afternoon.
When I was browsing some websites and converting an HD video, I noticed a huge slowdown, I checked the CPU temp and it was 110C so I knew that the pump stopped working, I stopped the video converterting and the temp went back to ~80C, I made a post on the Rasa kit thread about which pump to get and then I went to look for the stock cooler, while I was searching for it I heard a loud booom and saw tons of smoke coming from the 5.25" bays, I turned off the electricity from the socket and noticed that the explosion make a huge crack in the reservoir and therefore it was leaking lots of water.
After spending a few hours cleaning and asserting the damage, luckily the crack in the reservoir was at the bottom and since it was a 5.25" type it leaked downward toward the HDD, SSD and the front 200mm fan.
I cleaned everything and fired the PC and luckily everything seems to be working, the only damage was the pump/reservoir of course !!

Thanks XSPC.
