What do you think about these CPU cooling kits?
-
Hello. What do you think about kits like this or from another brand or model for the CPU:
http://www.corsair.com/es/hydro-series-h80i-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler.htmlWill they be durable or will they run out of liquid after 4 days, will any conduit be clogged, will they have leaks (with the risk of damaging some other component)???
-
with this in hand, you can forget it if it fails in four days.
about the losses ….. I think the RLs have losses when they are assembled incorrectly, Corsair is supposed to verify the proper functioning of their products and you, in case you buy one, should try it out first outside the tower to verify that it doesn't have losses ;D
regards
P.D there are some very cool comparisons on the net -
It's just that LCs like you have to renew liquids, purge, and they have maintenance every x time so you always notice if there might be a leak because of something you see that needs renewal.
But these kits like they don't need maintenance or you can't change parts I'm afraid to find out overnight that a tube has perforated and because of that liquid leak one or several components of the pc have been ruined.
And a LC to mount it well is a paste and the budget doesn't allow it.
I looked at some comparisons yesterday, but now that I have time I'll look more. Although from what I've seen in them the Noctua NH-U12P isn't doing too bad (and that one doesn't have liquid leaks xD).

How many times have you changed a tube of an RL due to a leak? (talking about quality tubes and mounted without making strange curves)
about the duration/performance …. I know very few people who update their PC and don't update the heatsink (talking about non-stock heatsinks) that when it's not one thing it's another, I used to have this on a 939 and had to migrate to this when I changed platforms
and the day after tomorrow I will buy one of those water cooling kids

These kits work pretty well, I prefer a good air cooler if it works well, I tas remove the RL and change platform I put a h100 for space reasons in memories and it works very well, with a quiet fan it is very comfortable.

I have also looked into these kits because of the space issue with high profile memory.
Initially I thought about putting the Noctua NH-U9B or the Noctua NH-U12P in it and removing the fan that is next to the memory so that it does not touch the ram heatsinks.
Regarding the kit, I have read that having to leave the radiator inside the pc generates too much heat inside the pc…
Then I have also read this, which as I have never used RL I do not know if it is true: Aluminum radiator and copper CPU block, those of us who use RL know that this union causes a galvanic reaction that decomposes the aluminum and this decomposition galvanizes the copper with that aluminum (that is, it clogs the cpu block).
