Hi friends, I'm think about improve my system's look and airflow, i use Noctua NH-D14 for my i7-3770k 4.4GHz the system remain cool but it looks like a ****.
and I have several problems whit my GTX 780 Lightning i cant use GPU Reactor, it cant fit so i need to remove it.
So i'm considering to replace it with Corsair H100i then my Maximus V Formula and CM Storm Trooper (window) will look much better. And if i put it on PUSH/PULL configuration as exhaust will improve airflow in case.
My only concern is the "leaking" of this coolers?
Is it worth to change and does it have a big risk to leak after some months ?
I live in Portugal so contacting Corsair and send them cooler if something happens isnt really easy.
So do you think i will be cool with the H100i?
THX in advance!

There is very little chance of leaks with closed-type liquid cooler. But I'd still prefer using an air cooler instead of the H100.

The NH-D14 you have sure looks bad, but it cools better than a H100 and it is far more quieter. If you really want to change, take a look at the Phanteks PH-TC14PE. They offer a big variety of colors to match every scheme and it performs the same as the Noctua cooler.
