closed loop liquid cooling?

leecmoss · Mar 31, 2014

hey guys looking at the corsair h75 closed loop liquid cooler as i intend to OC my processor my question is how reliable is the cooler is there a high chance of it leaking and if it does will corsair replace any damaged components??

liquid cooling looks realy cool but i dont want a broken system thanks.

I've heard of faulty AiO's, but generally speaking if they are going to leak, they'll leak in the box so you'll know before you install it. Unless you do something wrong while installing it, I think you should be alright. There is certainly much less chance of an AiO leaking than a custom loop.

With any liquid cooling system there is a chance for a leak. The fluids inside AIO systems is generally non-conductive HOWEVER over time as the liquid picks up metals from the system it will at some point become dangerous. Personally I wouldn't use an AIO for over a year but I know some guys that have used them for much longer.
I have heard of issues but they are pretty rare. I would always do a quick running test of the cooler before install as to make sure the pump is working properly and if there were any leaks with the added pressure.

how will i test it without attaching it to the cpu dosnt it need the cpu to be running for it to work??

I ran the original H100 in one system for three years almost without a single issue, but that is kind of pushing it time wise. If it isn't leaking by the time it arrives it will unlikely leak. Those things go around the entire world shacking and bouncing around. Just keep an eye on your system for the first week, and if no leaks, you should be good.
