Corsair liquid cooler leakage?

[AyuX]

I was going through some user reviuews of the corsair h series coolers and I was shocked to see that some users reported that some of them were defective and they leaked ethylene glycol rather than water destroying the whole CPU components. Will Corsair stand responsible for the destruction caused by their products?

I wouldn't recommend getting one until a recall or something is announced and the problem is resolved. Just to be safe, go with a high end air cooler. Something like these coolers will work great...

I thought people bought the wanna be water coolers to destroy their systems...was I wrong?!?!?!?

My Hyper 212+ can do anything any wanna be water cooler can, and cost me 75% less.

Overclock to 5GHz stable with temps under 70? ;P

Yes, the H100 is problematic, but if you luck out and get a cooler that isn't defective it works fairly well. Still not worth the risk, which is why I'm going with an air cooler until I get the cash and time to put in a custom WC loop.

Its a risk if one chooses to take the water cooling path, that's why some advice against using it because its better to be safe then sorry.

Does the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO take some of your Ram slots? Heard that it's big

I guess you are not using a cooler for your core i3

the i3 cant overclock, there isn't a real reason for my to buy an aftermarket cooler unless i live in heavily hot areas, or i want a silent fan.


edit:besides blck changing.

If I have it in push configuration then it blocks the closest RAM slot (but only if you have high heat spreaders - low profile memory wouldn't be an issue).

Only if you have abnormally large heatspreaders such as the this kind of corsair vengeance RAM...

I'd just recommend getting RAM like this...

Or this...

Huge heatspreaders on RAM isn't necessary. It's pretty much just a big marketing technique to make it look cool so they can sell more.
