H100i

[Telebubbies]

Hey guys! I want to get a Corsair H100i. But 5% of me says that it is going to leak. Now I want to know this:

If the cooler does leak, will Corsair replace everything that it damaged?

Thanks in advance!

Corsair does have a very good warranty. I have had an H100i for a few years. It never leaked, but I think something is wrong with mine... You should be just fine. Corsair is renound in my world for reliability.

It won't leak.

 

The real question is: Do you really need liquid cooling?

Are you going to overclock?
Is there not enough room for a large air cooler in your case?

I will overclock my MSI GTX 970. But I cannot overclock the CPU as it is not unlocked. 

I think that I can get a large air cooler.. But I heard that the H100i is a lot more efficient and better.

An air cooler can't leak, of course. and it has less moving parts, and larger fans in general, so it'll be quieter.

If you can fit a big air cooler, I'd do that, otherwise an AIO might be necessary.

and the fans are noisier too  

 

if you want AIO, kraken x61

Deep down inside, whoever loves computers is hydrophobic when it comes to computers.

One last question, what CPU cooler would you prefer?

for overclocking: NH-D15 or Dark Rock Pro 3 if your case supports it, and ram clearance isnt an issue

 

for non-overclocking: stock, Hyper 212 evo, or NH-D15 or dark rock pro 3 and remove their fans for passive silence coolings

Umm.. Those are not available from the place where I am ordering the parts from. 

Do you mind picking the best from this list: http://www.wootware.co.za/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=cpu+cooler

the hyper 212x is essentially a hyper 212 evo with a better fan and slightly better heatsink design

 

improves cooling by about 1~3c

You cannot prove this. As I work for a company that produces units - extremely expensive units - defects definitely get missed and also definitely occur.
