Is the H100 worth it?

[acidydragon]

Hello all!

I currently have a H70 in my system (It's a 120mm radiator AIO),

And I saw the H100 on sale for 49.99 (+10 dollar Rebate [uSD]),

Is that worth it? Or should I save for a different one?

[tp95112]

yes

At 39.99 USD?  Yes that is very much worth it!

It's a refurb, take your chances if you want. 

 

If your chip runs into temperature problems, it could help, if you're already at voltage/clock limits then it's pointless to get.

If it's refurbished I still say take the chance. For $40 it's totally worth it.

 

If it's new, then HELL YES.

I didn't notice that it was a refurb... Good point... I think I'll take my chances though... 40 bucks is a tad too amazing to pass up. (It has a 12 month warranty, I can always RMA.)

Not sure you can rma your wet components though.

Very worth it. I have a h70 on my grandpas fx 6100 and if the h100 was that price and his case supported 2*120 I would buy it.

I think you can RMA if water damage is under warranty, especially if a closed loop does it.

Since it's a no maintenance AIO, you can RMA it until they get it right.

No manufacturer offers replacements for water damaged components. Corsair *MIGHT* offer some sort of compensation for water damaged components - other than their own - that have been damaged resulting in a fault with their closed loop coolers.

And pay for shipping e-ve-ry-ti-me (the nightmare I am actually living right now with 2 Gigabyte GPUs)

I'd do a leak test with it if it is refurb.

[acidydragon]

I'm going to do a leak test (as if it was a custom watercooled loop) once it comes.

I'm ordering it now. For 40 bucks, I couldn't say no

[acidydragon]

Ordered it... It's 50 bucks upfront... Not a big deal.

 

If it sucks, I'll contact and try to get a free RMA, if they tell me it'll cost, then it was only 40 bucks after the rebate. Whatever.

 

BUT if it works... I have an H100 for 40 bucks. I'm happy either way.

[acidydragon]

Time to see if an RMA works... :l

No leaks though...

But the pump didn't even power.

[acidydragon]

update, I am able to take the H 100 to my local store, and they will replace it for me for free. Headed that way now, will give an update when I'm home.

Got the new H100

The block looks PERFECT

I had them test that it powered on in store (success).

 

I installed it (SO MUCH WORK)

Put lots of paper towels on things, No leaks

Success!

Glad things worked out in the end for you, it was a great deal.
