I've had this pump for about two and half years and its just recently started making slight gurgling sounds randomly. Temps are the same with no change. The sounds don't seem to last terribly long and happen once, sometimes twice a day. Should I be worried?

if its gurgling then there is probably a little air in the system trapped where it shouldnt be. So long as its not leaking and temps are ok i dont see an issue..... but if it gets progressively worse i would start looking for a new one, the pump could be on its way out.

Ok, as time went on the sound remained. The last few days it had gotten worse, so I took the side of the PC and sure enough there was a leak. Thankfully it did not screw up any of the other components. It looks like one of the hoses had sprung the leak where it connects to the component that goes on the cpu. This is probably a very stupid question, but can this be fixed or is it preferable to just replace it?

Replace it, contact corsair for an RMA, they will replace the cooler for you. (5 year warranty last I checked)

Just a follow up, the gurgling is a tell tale of an air leak, or buildup of air. Some of the H series do this from day one and dont leak, others develop it, like yours.
2 1/2 years isnt bad id say.

Thank you. I think in the meantime I was thinking about adding an hyper 212 evo, however I know thats a big fan set up and I'm using a ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX and CORSAIR Vengeance Pro ram sticks, so I'm not sure if that fan will fit? I've read where some have had problems with it covering the ram sticks? Any help would be appreciated.
