Hi everyone, im testing a brand new Corsair H100i here. Everything seems rock solid but im scary of what would happen if it unluckly leaks. By gravity, if it leaks, the liquid would fall on the right on the GPU. Will it damage for life? Im trying to make some kind of roof between the tubes and the GPU but for now no exit. What about if a turned the case to the side? I know i will get some airflow impact but i have not a single fan on the right side of the case (NZXT Phamtom)
Let me know please your opinion guys!

PD: The reason because i didnt go with an air cooling solution is that in my country neither the Noctua NH-D14, Phanteks, etc is available, just the Corsair Hydro Series,

Thanks!!

i ve only see 3 post on corsair forums were this unit leaked, of course i dont know what those guys did with the tubes. Maybe they forced them, but i cant relax after read those post.
Thanks for answering, i would like to read some more opinions.
