idgforum Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Reading now a Swedish forum and there are many who have problems with the screw threads. Are suggestions for various stack-band solutions, but is not this scandal? The Corsair has such poor quality on their stuff. RMA = be without a computer for weeks.

antonyfrn Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Got this issue on my H100i two lose screws that don't tighten properly. Along with a red LED that works when it wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave65 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have to admit quality on my H70 was better than the quality on my h100i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 they do say to simply snug them rather than over tighten them,the screws are not holding much weight.Any screw threads can be stripped if over tightened,and much more so with these small screws.

idgforum Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 No great tips on how to easily self design their new radiator so that the screws hold as Corsair can not keep good quality material? I try screws-tape but it was a bad solution. I don't want to drill in new stuff. I notice that some sellers in Sweden do not sell Corsair Water system in theirs shops any more. Ore sell them for a very low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idgforum Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Had anybody try super-glue? Welding is not an option for me at this 'do it yourself' product from Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snik Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Most auto supply shops will carry a thread compound that could help. Perhaps even liquid plumbing thread compound could be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 theres a bonding compound called 'liquid nails' and another called 'jbweld' that will anchor your screw in.just apply on the screw threads and install screw and let harden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snik Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yea, jbweld may be too much, as that tend to harden too much.(hence the term 'weld' in the name.) Loctite is purpose made to keep threaded parts tightly locked, while allowing for eventual removal... Although, I have seen people use nail polish with great success....though again, removal can be tough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yea, jbweld may be too much, as that tend to harden too much. anything used like this will tend to be a one time fix,but using these 2 products when it cures you can still remove them if necessary theres no magic fix to stripped threads unless you can tap to a larger size.

WesternDreaming Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 clear nail polish is your friend and there is a difference between "snug" and tight" the reason it says "snug" is that people who made it "tight" were damaging the radiator itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesternDreaming Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 yup,i agree i bet not many ''mechanics'' will strip these screws;): i actually drop paper washers under every screw in my rig, this has stopped stripping altogether with components getting more expensive every year, computer builders have to stop being "mechanics" and start being "technicians" paper washers, clear nail polish and a delicate touch ftw !

idgforum Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I hope the new H80i GT gona be better to mounting to my Game PC! I try some other brand on my HTPC and all pumps is noisy.

Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted March 2, 2015 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 2, 2015 You can actually control the pump speed on the H80i GT, so if it's too loud for you, you can make it less loud. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
