Cleaning is just a matter of uninstalling the radiator + fan from the chassis in order to blow the dust out, and then reinstall it. Takes about 5 minutes, if that. The bulk of the time is just hauling out the chassis and finding a screwdriver, haha.

The radiator is however easy to open and cleanup, correct?

Wow, 40C for 9 months. I am sweating just thinking of that…

I’ve been using the old-style H60 since last May and it’s never caused me any issues. The only thing you need to watch for is dust-buildup. Seems to snag dust worse than most air coolers.

Wow! A 5-year warranty leaves a good taste in my mouth. At my present location with temperatures going as high as 40c for 9 months of the year, the price tag and that extraordinary warranty surely seem like the way to go.

I wonder if at these prices, air-based coolers aren’t just becoming obsolete. Granted, my main concern hasn’t been the CPU, but the GPU. In any case, those corsair babies have been on my radar ever since the first review here on TG.

I’m not too sure, but Corsair offers a 5-year warranty. I’ve been using the original H100 in my system since October of last year and my wife has been using the H80 since September of last year and both are going strong.

What’s the expected lifetime on these things?
