Part Failure - Revisiting the Water Cooler
In mid-January the liquid cooler in my computer failed (without so much as a warning). When it failed I started the process of working with Corsairโs Customer Service (which did not work out at all โฆ if you want to read more about it please follow this link - https://goo.gl/UaxrV6). Needless to say I needed to get my computer up and running while working with (then giving up on) Corsairโs customer support. So after a little research I decided to purchase a Cooler Master Hyper T4 after reading this review from DV-Tests (https://goo.gl/qixUvf). Once installed I was able to get back to work. But my configuration really called for a liquid cooler on the processor to allow the processor to work at itโs peak performance while staying nice and cool.
So I was really set on not getting another Corsair liquid cooler because of the poor way they handled my customer support claim (no phone support claims allowed, and poor management of the customer support claims and complaints). I looked into the NZXT Kraken X62, but even with the good reviews from Hardwarecanucks (their video review is at the end of this article) I was not able to purchase the cooler because it was brand new, and few units were available for sale. I ended up choosing the Corsair H115i liquid cooler after reading this review at Overclockers Club (https://goo.gl/xoWkZK). With the price at $125 and the good reviews I read (and having calmed down), I decided to take the plunge. So far so good.
