** CORSAIR LIQUID COOLING SOLUTIONS - CRAZIEST DEAL OF 2013 **

In product description it says "The Corsair Hydro Series H80 high-performance CPU cooler fully supports Corsair Link Digital connections, so you can be in complete control of your cooling. Monitor a wide range of parameters, including pump speed, coolant temperature, and fan speed, and customize your own performance profiles*.
* Requires the Corsair Link Commander, sold separately"

Couldn't see any listing of this, is this nessary to run the cooler ?

it's not required but just a gimmicky expensive add on you can purchase

its a good step up from the 920 in fairness. certainly should increase overclocking headroom slightly,
 
Shame those are only for 120 mm fans and my case takes 140's :(...else I would have been very tempted to take the H100



Although saying that IF and I do say if the unit failed and my CPU and Mobo become unusable due to the unit failing......all three Items would be replaced by Corsair ?

Only during the 90 day warranty and I think they have limits on what they pay out,
 
I'm fairly certain they dont cover consequential loss.
however, as I have mentioned at least sixteen thousand and twelve times in this thread:
we have never had a corsair LCS unit returned with a leak.

OK lol , perhaps I will change my mind hmm, I shall contemplate this whilst playing my free copy of Metro Last Light today that I got with my new MSI GTX 660Ti from your good selves :)
 
Ordered a H100, shame it won't fit in my current case. Guess I'll just have to do an itx haswell build sooner than I expected! The H100 just about fits in a BitFenix Prodigy right?

Corsair do pay compensation for damaged parts. I've seen several threads on other forums about it with corsair giving big cheques for gpu's/power supplies/motherboards which were killed due to leaks. It's very rare but it has happened to some people.

People need to realise the fluid used in these is non-conductive so chances something will be damaged is pretty low.

As is the possibility of a leak if you handle it correctly.

It's not non conductive, if it leaks it will kill your parts. I agree though, the chance of a leak is very rare but has happened to a few people on the h60/80/100 and even the new h100i

A little confusion but I was contacted by CorsairGeorge and settled the problem. I finally came into contact with 2 Corsair people helping me through the process. In the end they sent me a UPS tracking slip and refunded me 299.99 for my Video Card and sent a replacement H100 right away.

The liquid is non-conductive but the galvanic corrosion process can introduce conductivity over time. This process is going to be pretty slow on a closed loop. Hence why I stated the possibility of damaged components would be low.

The few cases you find of damaged components a substantial leak has incurred - My suspicion is that these units haven't been handled correctly and force was applied to the barbs.

Personally I have handled over a dozen of these units (H60/H80/H100 as well as a few of the new 'i' series) and have known of no problems with any of them.

More of a concern is the amount of these units which suffer from pump noise. This shouldn't be a worry as this problem is normally seen day 1 and you've got that 90 day warranty to cover you.

Even though I'm pretty confident in these units I do however test them outside the case first just to make sure there is no pump noise/issues.

Considering the price to performance ratio of these you really can't complain. Sure the risk is real and yes you should consider you might be one of the minority with issues.

:EDIT: Just for reference - I own a H60, H80 and H100i all with no issues.
