I just recently bought a new Enthoo Luxe and a bunch of other stuff to upgrade my computer. I just got into PCs about September 2014 and I'm looking to take my rig to the next step. I was looking to some ways to do this, whether it was by adding a new GPU or upgrading my mobo, after I narrowed it down, I decided that I should replace my CPU heatsink since the one I have currently is stock and not very good silence or performance wise.

 

I looked for a few solutions, and I settled on the Corsair H110i GTX, and after a few minutes of thinking and hearing a few minor comments from reviewers about how there's always a chance that AIOs can leak, I am now rethinking the new heatsink and instead buying a new motherboard. Am I thinking too hard or is it a legitimate concern?

 

Thanks

If they weren't, why are thousands upon thousands of them bought? Just don't buy some el cheapo POS and you're fine.

Pretty much this. Wouldn't buy one used either.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Definitely, and if they were to ever fail and damage parts, the company that made it is pretty much obligated to give you compensation (refund).
