ordered heatsink cooler, should have it Saturday. Still waiting to see when/if Corsair will replace AIO

Cool, good luck.

I hope that was pun intended.

yea, I think it was good luck, as in good luck getting them to do anything.. Well looks like they might, after i bitched them out saying reading the fin HWInfo logs, it gives you everything and unless you will be held responsible, i will not stress the system, saying I have been in IT blah blah blah.. I was then nice and sent then an idle screenshot using their software. They are now asking for receipt and serial number. I gotta pull the cooler this weekend and send them the pic.. I using an older invoice since i dont have the receipt from best buy (i initially bought the h115, but didn't clear the system (prob due to rgb plate thingy), so ran to Best Buy and bought the H100). we will see what they say

You're asking for help with the H115 but are going to be providing a receipt for a H100? How are they supposed to help you?

nope, its for the H110, just not the receipt for that exact unit.. Its for another H110 (older unit)

btw, most companies can do a warranty by serial number. They can tell by sn the date of Mfg. That was one of my first jobs in IT was dealing with RMAs.. sucked, but it was something. receipt is older than unit, so i just bought one that was sitting on the shelf for a while..

This isn't my only build with this H100 unit. I have one other, which was an Intel i7 unit.

If the receipt is still within the warranty window then I don't see an issue. Usually they don't list serial numbers on the receipts.

Exactly. the one I am using is 1 year older than the one I bought, and am trying to warranty out. Warranty is 5 years.. So still within range. We see what happens. I just need to pull the serial number tomorrow.

smartkid808

Speaking of liquid cooling Ars has an article about how LC is coming the norm in data centers with immersion cooling.

(waving paw) bah

Kids these days. We were doing cryogenic cooling with the first Cray. Liquid cooling before that. It's always been the mainstream in the datacenter. Only at home and/or hobbyist did it take so long to start making inroads.

Umm, no it hasn't.

Because it was more cost effective, with the technology at the time, to air cool.

You are 100% incorrect.
