Hi guys, I am new to pc components and I am entering the world of Watercooling AIO. I have search reviews for this product and I saw many complaints that it only last for 6 months or 1 year. So I want to hear from you guys what is your experience or reviews about the Corsair H100 v2. Thank you very much
 


The Corsair H100i has a 5 year Warranty and yes some fail as is with all hardware.
I have installed numerous AIOs and had only one pump failure. Corsair have a good RMA policy if required.
 


My problem is, the store that it is selling gives only 1 year warranty. What should I do? I'm from the philippines by the way.
 


Well you really need to decide if indeed you need Water Cooling and its intended use.
If you are going to Overclock your CPU then a liquid cooler can help however there is little to gain using a single fan radiator where a decent Air cooler will suffice. Most advantage is with dual fan radiators, if they will fit into your Tower Case.
The Corsair Warranty is worldwide, It's just that you can return the unit to your place of purchase within 12 months as per the RMA. It is the same here in Australia.
 


So I can still use the 5 year warranty of corsair?
 
Yes. After 12 months you have to ship the unit to Corsair for a replacement. In some stores they will handle that for you and if not then you package yourself and pay the freight.

Which particular AIO were you considering and it's intended purpose.?
If you want a recommendation then list your system specs.
 


Hehe, I'm just doing this for aesthetics . I have an I5 4460,GA H81M-Ds2, 8gb ram and msi gtx 1060 gaming x 6gb
 


With an i5-4460 none "K" CPU your money is better spent on a 16GB RAM kit.
OK, aesthetics is fine too cause decent Air Coolers are big bulky and mighty ugly. lol
 


Hahaha. They give me a discount on the Corsair h100i v2. In my country it is 4500 philippine pesos, if I convert it to USD it would be $ 89.325
 




I still have that feeling of "IF I buy this" Hahaha
Can you look to this Deepcool Gammaxx GT RGB aircooled CPU cooler. Thanks
