Krod Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I just picked up a H100i today and a mere 5 seconds after taking it out of the box one of the hoses burst off the cooler and sprayed coolant everywhere. I'm taking it back tomorrow for another cooler but I'm a little hesitant now cause I don't want coolant all over my motherboard. Is this a common occurrence? -Thanks, Krod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryman Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 probably even less you said it went all over your motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krod Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 probably even less you said it went all over your motherboard? No luckily it happened before I could install it, I said I'm not sure if I wanted to get another because I don't want it to happen to the board.

wytnyt Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 corsair has been known to reimburse on a case by case upon verification of bad parts. in the year that ive been frequenting this board ive seen like 5 that have leaked,this is out of hundred of thousands of coolers sold,yours could have been a fluke or heavily shaken during shipment or remotely possibly even a defect but the end call is yours of course.i have well over 7k in 2 builds and run hydro for a year now and all is good.

Bryman Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 ya the arctic silver 5 i used is really hard to get good and i learned my mistake as now my temps are high and i dont know if its the thermal paste or what so use the stock **** just remember if you previously used the stock heatsink to clean off the old thermal paste first which guess who didnt do that the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
