Water cooling problem

ixkobexi · Jan 18, 2014

I want to get a Corsair H60 since it is the only one that will fit in my case, but I'm about to upgrade to a 780ti and I am really paranoid about it leaking. Will Corsair replace my parts if it does? If not, is there anything I can get to prevent it from leaking?

ixkobexi :

They generally don't leak and I do not think corsair would replace your parts because it would be hard to prove what happened. They would replace the h60 though. Here's a bit of piece of mind for you I have installed 25+ corsair closed loop system never had a issue with one leaking yet.

If you are worrying about leaking you should go somekind of high end air coolers. There are some that are the same or better performance as H60 and they look cooler IMO

For example I got a Xigmatek Dark Knight 2 (1 fan, £32) to replace my stock cooler
it is 12 cm tall so not that big and it is max 5 cm wide
From 62c (100% load on FX 8320 on all 8 cores stock clocks stock cooler) it went down to 33c degree!

So what are the chances of a leak? I'm either deciding on the H60 or the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo because I have heard you can overclock pretty well with it.

I have had the H60 for over 3 years now, I have moved it once a year to reapply paste. I just moved it again to drop in a new motherboard and cpu. The thing still runs strong,

min idle hit 14 C with min fan speed / max idle 18 C with min fan speed
max load hit 46 C with min fan speed / max load 41-42 C with max fan speed
