Question Corsair h100i vs NZXT Kraken x53

[BrandonFitzpatricc]

I'm looking to buy one of these two liquid coolers. Price and performance aren't big concerns for me, I'm more concerned about durability and the warrantee. I'd like to use whichever cooler I buy for the entire duration of the warranty if possible, because I'm trying to avoid upgrading my parts unless I need to. Both coolers seem to be good quality, but I've heard some people say that Corsair has the better warranty, while others have said the opposite. I can't seem to find official warranty information for either products.

Corsair H115i - there are 5 different models of these, all 5 year though.

Warranty of Kraken X62 is 6 years.


Durability/reliability is pretty much the same between them. The biggest differences are aesthetic. That is due to most of the coolers in the market being made by the same 2 companies: Asetek and Coolit.
They can usually be identified by the shape of the cold plate. Asetek = round. Coolit = squared.
