H100i Problem

[richbarr]

I'm currently using H100i cooler but then I noticed that my CPU is hitting high temps than usual. So I (stupidly) decided to change the coolant but I found out that the tubes' holes are so tiny.
Is there anyway to fix this? Help?

if you took off tubing or anything, you may be screwed

if not, its likely a bad mount

I did took it off but from the radiator's side only. I managed to attached it back to the rad but the coolant is still out. Or am I screwed?

You're pretty screwed, lol.

How did you detach the tubing?

just

i think youre screwed

if youve got an aio, never try to fix or change fluid yourself 

its hard, the coolant is strange sometimes

and you open it, the chances are that they will never fix it for you

Thank you sir. I may have to buy a new one.

yeah

upon further reading, you screwed your warranty

on any aio, never try to do anything yourself

the h100i has a 5 year warranty

and there is no need to a EVER replace or refill it

unless you do like you did, and detach and lose fluid

Wait, you changed the coolant? As in you disassembled the tubing?

Yeah, you're screwed. I'm pretty sure the problem was either a bad mount on the CPU or the pump not working, because the exact same thing happened to me and it was the pump not actually forcing the coolant around the loop. You could have just RMA'd it like I did, but now you've changed the coolant I don't think it'll still be covered under warranty.

Yeah, I guess I'm screwed. Good thing I still have my 212 Evo.

I wish I could do something about this, it would have been an easy swap since you have a 5 year warranty. But since you've detached the tubes from the rad, that pretty much voided your warranty, unfortunately. 

 

if you run into something like this in the future, I'd strongly suggest that you contact the manufacturer first as I am pretty sure that they/we can provide you a solution as long that you are within the product's warranty period
