Ex-H100i Owner here,

 

Mine died after about 3 weeks of use - and then due to the heat of my overclocked CPU managed to leak water all over my system.

That being said; Corsair was nice about it, paying for priority shipping of my entire computer to them and managed to test all the parts, and reply back offering replacements and reimbursements for not only the Cooler but everything, even the non-corsair items. 

 

Personally I'd go with the H105, I've heard a lot of complaints about the H100i's less than stellar lifespan.

• NCASE M1 • i5-9600k • GTX 1080 FE • Z370N-WIFI • SF600 • NH-U9S • LPX 32GB • 960EVO •

I'm a self-identifying Corsair & Nvidia Fanboy; Get over it.

Stay away from the H100i. Bad problems with mounting, pumps failing, and noise.

"I genuinely dislike the promulgation of false information, especially to people who are asking for help selecting new parts."
