Price looks great and tempting too,but I'm done with AIO,I'm happy with NH-D15,temps I've are very similar to EK or Swiftech
Thanks,Jura

that's some good news. tnx!
now i feel tempted to get maybe the smallest one for my haswell.
the corsairs are just inferior products compared to that. i had some bad experience with a h90 pump..

Hope this helps
Thanks,Jura
My old H60 is still working in PC which I've build from old parts for my neighbour daughter,I often go there and check PC if everything is working
My H100i v2 failed after 6 months,right now have Noctua NH-D15 and my temps are lot lower than with H100i and regarding the EK looks like great cooler,but EK have too own issues with their AIO like Swiftech
My thread about the comparison between the H100 and NH-D15

Original Corsair H50 still running here. π
Though the prices are nice for EK AIO. Too bad it was not that at launch.

Only 159.99 USD for the 240 now! I've been thinking about going back to aircooling a single gpu when I upgrade...a new cpu block and reservoir (I hate my bay res) will set me back about the same amount as what the Predator 240 costs now. The inclued pump is more than sufficient for just a cpu.
Plus Vardar fans are the bomb (and expensive), the MX blocks arent the prettiest but really effective, and the whole deal is super clean looking. Definitely a great value.

Kind of wish i'd waited before replacing my H100 with the 360 predator now could have saved myself Β£30, still these are some nice prices and as far as leaks go it was only the earlier revisions that were affected
I ended up dismantling my 360 and integrating it into a full loop with clear tubing and yeah the fittings are a bitch to get off so I wouldn't worry too much about leaking.

Except your dumping the cpu heat inside the case, increasing temps from MB, gpu etc.
Every 10*C means one year less on life.
And i dont consider 50-60*C on a 3770k an issue, using the updated H60i.

NOW they drop in price, after i got my h115i and arctic hybrid. Ugh... Well good news if i want to upgrade in the future.

Dont need to lookup stuff regarding that ;-)
My rigs were always "overcooled" so i can run it inaudible at low load (no matter if A or H2o cooled)
My first custom wc setup with external radiators and industrial quick connects running custom eheim pump i build in 2006.
I just sold my custom passive rad setup (almost 7 liter of coolant) and didn't want to go back to higher in-case temps from aircoooling, so temporary i got the updated h60i which works great so far (for what it is) and has a 5y warranty that includes any damage to my rig caused by it failing.
Not sure if there is even one brand on this planet that gives me same coverage.
My board doesnt go above 55C under full load, mostly 50 when gaming. Cpu stays at 65-68C under full load (depending on room temp), which for me is nice for a 120 aio. Could get much lower temp on cpu, but i cant stand the fan noise, and operate two 8dBA fans on it to keep it inaudible.
I will use it until i replace it with either a EK or aqua-cooling setup, just have to figure out my next case and setup (hopefully zen).
And a failing pump lets me upgrade to a liang:-)
@slyphnier
And exactly why are they failing (caps)? Cause of temps. If i exclude factors like micro-fractures on pcbs (uneven mount, moving pc etc), almost all components will fail, just will take longer at lower temps.
Why would you cool server rooms to chilling 50-60F, i doubt throttling is an issue at temps reached on these cpus/boards when having the room at 70.
I worked with IT for gov and to save some on energy the server rooms where never below 65F, and cpu temps where already pretty good (for air cooling), so the only reason to cool the room lower is? ;-)
