Yes, they're safe. And if you want to be extra careful, run the pump while it's outside and make sure there's no leaks. But there's no need to worry about it.

 

But if you really really don't want to do water cooling, there's awesome air cooling alternatives, such as the Noctua NH-D15, beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, and some others.

do you use one? because i read that if they leak they may not replace your messed up parts I want to get the Corsair h60 or the h80i im a very very paranoid person I always think of the worst possible thing that can happen to something lol

They will not leak unless you damage it on purpose...

They're idiot proof. Unless you purpousefully yank the tubing or drop it on concrete it will not leak. I've had mine for 3 years and no issues at all.

Also I'm fairly sure the fulid they use is non-conductive, so it should not ruin your components if it spills (which it wont)

H100i

But the H105 or H110 is better, or the x41 or x61 from NZXT

 

And if they just used water you would have a shit ton of stuff growing inside of it.

Yes, I use a quite cheap liquid cooler, it's a $50 120mm water cooler from Cooler Master, I'm pretty sure those Corsair water coolers are safe, no need to worry about it.

The Corsair H105 was great at cooling my FX 9590. No leaks or noises from the pump. Couldn't recommend it more other than going into a custom loop.

Corsair will let you RMA the whole cooler if one of the screw holes get stripped smooth or if the LED dies.

I installed my H110 pretty aggressively and it's fine. They are indeed quite idiot proof.

Test if for leaks outside your system first.

 

I personally run an H100i and it's fine. Provided you don't put massive kinks in the tubes they're quite idiot proof. And from what I understand up to a point Corsair will provide market value cashback to replace damaged parts if you provide evidence of damage in the event of failure.

+1 Also, Is it possible to make kinks in the tube? That tube seems impossible to bend unless you truly attempt to break it. Lol.

If you were to force them a way they don't want to go they'd probably kink. It'd take some doing though. They do have a kind of point they won't go past if that makes sense, getting it in the top of my arc midi r2 was easier said than done.

Corsair Watercooling AiOs are, like basically every other one except Cooler Master and Swiftech, made by Asetek (afaik). They use aluminum radiators and have a bad reputation for being patent trolls. Safe they are, but the H220 from Swiftech is in my opinion better, as you can add other stuff later if you want.

It kinda hurts that in some areas, Corsair is just a sticker on some Asian company, especially with their power supplies.

Do you even custom Bios, bro?
