I have had the GPU for about 3 months. I bought it in mid December while on vacation. Think they will take it even if it was MY fuckup?


The GPU return? No. But you should consider DeXa's idea about blaming Corsair (even though I <3 Corsair). Is it wrong? Yes. Can it replace your GPU? Possibly.

Put your h100i in the freezer upside down (so all the water is inside the radiator) and wait for it to crack. Submit a warranty request with Corsair. They might replace your gpu if you blame it on AIO leak =P

I don't want to have to buy a $349 GPU and another $90-100 liquid cooler.

It's a gamble, but it could result in you having to buy neither, as well.

I'm not a gambling man. I've already fucked up. I just need to work with the cards that I have been dealt.
It is a good suggestion and I appreciate it but I just don't want to risk anything else.

Well, regardless, sorry for your loss. I guess it couldn't hurt to try contacting about the GPU. 3 months isn't ridiculous I suppose.

Yeah, I just ordered my new one. Worst case scenario is that I will have two and can run them in SLI and be able to run 4k games.

You can always craigslist that ruined one as working and put it in the new one's box.

That would also make you a terrible person, though.

The thought crossed my mind. I just don't want to put out 'bad vibes' or anything. I'll just accept what has happened.

I just wish it had happened at a more opportune time. But, that's life.
