I have a corsair h60 water cooling unit, and it has been in use for little over a year now, still running well. But I have been wondering will this unit require maintenance? I believe it is a closed unit but I hear water cooling units should have their water replaced frequently, is this even possible on the unit I have? Should I be doing anything to keep it running well at cool temperatures? My cpu cores tend to run at 35 to 40 degrees Celsius but I have never recorded these temperatures during high intensity tasks such as stress tests or gaming. Also should I expect to have to replace this unit within the next couple of years? I have not had any problems with cpu heat or cooling I just want to make sure my pc stays like that. Many thanks, Tom.

That cooler is self contained and requires no maintance. Just do a good cleaning imo of the radiator to remove the dust and the exhaust fan. Other than that don't worry about it. Your temps being 35c to 40c. If your just worried you could and I mean if you really feel the need to replace the cpu paste and clean the exhaust fan and radiator while your at it.

Replacing water is required for custom open loops, not for closed loop coolers. A closed loop cooler is designed to last for at least the warranty period (typically 5 years) without the need for normal maintenance that a custom loop requires. This is one of the benefits of a CLC.

So no, you will not need to replace the water in your H60i.
