Hi, I saw a small amount of liquid on one of the radiator fans, while the other was completely dry. After taking it off, I noticed some skew fins. I've been using this system for eight months now and only noticed this recently. No other parts seem wet. I checked the entire PC. Is this something to be concerned about? The CPU temperatures are still normal. My setup is a 7600k OC to 5.0GHz at 1.3 volts. The Prime95 stress test showed the hottest core at 74°C, which means the cooler is functioning properly. I just want to know if this is something to worry about and what steps I should take. Thank you.

It might be oil or grease from the fan bearing. Cm sells radiators with "Loop Dynamic Bearing" fans.
"The self-lubricating and IP6X dustproof design keeps the bearing in good condition, allowing the system to remain functional for a long time."
Probably they just added too much.
Thank you for your prompt response. I should have noted that the liquid was near the edges of the fan blades.
Not anywhere near the middle are there any liquid droplets...
Do you think it could still be oil or grease from the fan bearing?
As the blades spin, they separate the particles to the rim, leaving dust behind. It could indeed be grease.

It may contain oil or grease from the fan bearing. Cm offers radiators with "Loop Dynamic Bearing" fans.
"The self-lubricating and IP6X dustproof design safeguards the bearing, allowing it to function smoothly, so a new system is likely to be quickly outdated by the time ..."
They probably just overfilled it.

The self-lubricating and IP6X dustproof design keeps the bearing functioning well, but it might have been overfilled. Thank you for your prompt response. I should have noted that the liquid was near the edges of the fan blades—there is no liquid in the middle. Do you think it could still be oil or grease from the fan bearing?

It will be a lubricant from the fans. Trust me, if your radiator was leaking, you'd know all about it!

Hi, I know it's been a while since you shared this, but thank you for your reply.
It actually came from the fans. After cleaning it off, there hasn't been any unusual liquid left on the radiator or fans.
