Corsair water cooling

[Cjhalgmad]

So I've got two questions about corsair. 

1) If i want to overclock a 6700K to about 4.5ghz or 4.6ghz will a h80I be enough to handle the heat or will something like a h100I be needed?

2) I've always been nervous about getting an AIO water cooler if a leak or break occurs. despite hearing a 0.5% chance of this happening im still nervous about it. However i have heard that corsair replaces any parts broken due to the water cooler breaking. I want to know if this is true or if this policy still stands

 

Thanks

For the price of the H80 you could get the NH-D15. Quieter and cooler under load.

1. Yes, but only if you use it as an intake, otherwise the heated up air causes high temperatures. Still, for my personal preference, a 240 or 280mm is better. However, a high end air cooler performs just as good, if not better.

2. They shouldn´t break. If they do, Corsair replaces them no problem

Although this does depend on the silicon lottery, you should be able to do that even with basic air coolers like the hyper 212. It possible for a leak to happen, just very unlikely if you are careful. I wouldn't recommend getting AIO water, high end air will perform better for the same price.

Id prolly save a lil more and go for the H110i V2 if you have the room in your case or fine a 2nd hand one h100i. They are generally pretty reliable.
