They might Of reached -10 when shipped from the factory

someone in Antarctica had a leak.. and now all of you will pay for it!

If my bedroom was -10c I would be more concerned over other things than my CPU cooler
Yes its highly unlikely and i agree, but i almost wished they had of just said nothing at all.
its the knowing that they said " Yea we need to recall this for something that might never happen"
that information will always be at the back of your head.
It would be good to get more updated information from Corsair on how they are going to handle the problem, and an ETA on a fix / replacement.

Thats what i was thinking, some sort of refrigerated clean transport lorrys lol

is this also the case for the H80 GT too ?.....I was thinking of getting one but....
I think the scenario is only unlikely here in the UK. Imagine other countries, if you transport your PC or store the product in your car during winter for longer than 30min, the temperature will be well below -10. (parking etc.).. So if the plastic cracks or whatever else happens at that temp, it would happen to everyone in cold places.
Sucks for early adopters though

Think I'll get myself one of those nice cheap 290x's instead

well based on most tradiational fluids will freeze before they hit minus 10 degrees and potentially cause a leak (ice expands so could rupture the tubing) I would hazard a guess that most AIO watercooling units would have problems at minus 10 degrees.
Seems something more is at fault here, and Corsair maybe using this false reason as a cover up for the real probl;em, which could be far more severe.
Maybe I'm wrong though.

What temperature do cargo planes drop to when in transport? I think it would be quite low. How are these transported, I'm guessing by cargo ship anyway?

Is this some Morton-Thiokol rubber ring blow by scenario?

I was literally just about to go and order one of these too, Thanks for the headsup

im really unsure if when i head home if i should attempt to fit it or not.
fit it and wait for a fix then send it back for replacement. cause im sure its gona take them a good few weeks to come up with a replacement ?
