This is a risk you take when water cooling of any kind. Whether it be these AIO coolers or custom loops. Chances of them developing leaks is very slim though. Best thing to do is periodically check things over and quit using it if there is any sign of moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKeifer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 When you install a liquid cooler, Corsair-branded or any other, you are assuming some level of risk that it will leak at some point. You also assume additional risk when you overclock or otherwise modify your system to operate beyond spec. Chances are it won't leak as the percentage of systems that leak appears to be very low. But, as in my case, my H80i began to leak and I removed it and went back to air cooling. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it seems flexible enough , but when fitting the heatsink i was seriously worried since i needed to flex the hoses with some force. What about warrenty? It seems Corsair is not located here in the netherlands , so if something might happen what location should i contact? Perhaps Germany? since its closest to the Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz0rz Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm also replacing the stock fans today with some Noctua's PWM fans , i find the stock fans really unacceptable very loud mechanicle noise they produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz0rz Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 In the second picture you can see that the ram modules are fairly close to the heatsink tubes , are the tubes protected from the heat they produce ? I'm running them @ 1600mhz. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check on it every so often. It only takes a second or two to visually inspect it . What about warrenty? It seems Corsair is not located here in the netherlands , so if something might happen what location should i contact? Perhaps Germany? since its closest to the Netherlands The warranty is good around the world. Corsair actually has an RMA hub there in the Netherlands. So it shouldn't be any big deal for you IF you were to have an issue. You would contact tech support either here in the forums or by using the link on the left to create a ticket. In the very rare event that you would have a leak and damaged components you can request a damage claim form . Corsair has been known to cover components damaged. But keep in mind these are strictly cases by case situations. There is also a cap on how much they will cover as far as a monetary amount. In the second picture you can see that the ram modules are fairly close to the heatsink tubes , are the tubes protected from the heat they produce ? I'm running them @ 1600mhz. memory doesn't run that hot. It barely gets warm. But not enough to hurt the tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
