Leak rate of the h100i?

I ordered a nh d15 and I'm thinking of sending it back to newegg and getting a h100i but as you know water and electronics dont take too kindly to each other

You already own the better cooler. Only way to beat a NH-D15 is H105 or Kraken X61, even then will probably be within margin of error.

I haven't had any leaks on my homemade water cooling setup so a factory one should be even more reliable. Knowing my level of bodgework, I damn hope that a commercially available one is more reliable.

No one is really sure what the leak rate is for certain, it's just assumed to be low.

 

Unless you need an AIO, the NH-D15 is really good, matching up with the H100i in terms of cooling, and it is less noisy :)

Hmm, I guess I'll stick with the nh d15 for now and get a h100i or h105 sometime just to play around with :P

I have never seen an H100i leak, anywhere on the internet

I have seen H100s leak, and H100is have the rubber around the tubing come off, but never a single leak

 

My H100i is still going strong after 3+ years
