jktx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I noticed my system running sluggishly and after some troubleshooting found the processor was running at at 20% maximum frequency. When i finally opened up the case to check for overheating as a possible issue, i found that my h100 had been leaking at the block and dribbled all down the motherboard past the graphics card and had even pooled in the bottom crease. I took pictures before, after, and during the autopsy and i'm not 100% sure what is dead or not at this point. I've opened up a ticket but have not yet heard a response. ticket#6443694 image gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ouch definitely looks to be some sizzled coolant there. Was the system running and you shut it down or did everything stop ? If it was running and you shut it down you may be lucky and nothing is damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jktx Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think it had been leaking for at least a few days and it was running the whole time. the only way i noticed was the degraded performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ya u may be ok then. I'd grab a cheap air cooler and try to clean everything up as best you can. Maybe some rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth and just dab it. I'd wait for a response from corsair first tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene mauricio Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 How long did you own the H100 before it leaked? For that matter, was this a new unit or a refurbished one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wow, this is really getting pathetic..I am almost afraid to turn my computer on! when you installed water,did you honestly expect it to be as safe as air? while its unfortunate should there be a leak,its obvious theres a risk doing so.

snapper69 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My last water cooler (not Corsair) leaked and ruined my mobo and graphics card (thank God I hadn't installed my new GTX770!!!!!!). I swore off water cooling and bought an Alpenfohn Matterhorn Pure air cooler, trouble is it's massive (or should that be Massif) and the fan mounting system is rubbish, so I've just bought an H100i. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbit Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 when you installed water,did you honestly expect it to be as safe as air? while its unfortunate should there be a leak,its obvious theres a risk doing so. this is really a good point, and something people should think about. i just replaced my 670 w/ a 780 ti and I really can't justify the use of my 100i anymore. i love it, but the risk is to high. bummer thing is i would also need to replace my Corsair Vengeance memory because it has such a high profile. grr.. I do really like both products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
