Order now in stock on November 22, 2016. Decent Deal if you don't mind waiting.
The Hydro Series H45 makes your PC run cooler and quieter when you replace your CPU’s stock heatsink. The compact components and flexible tubing make the Hydro Series H45 easy to install even if you’re cramped for space. It allows you to improve your CPU’s cooling efficient even in the most compact cases – as long as your case has a 120mm fan mount near the CPU, the H45 will probably fit. The H45 comes pre-filled, and never needs priming.
Hopefully an expert can help - I have a socket 1155 board with an i5-3570k and I'm going to soon upgrade my tower to a Thermaltake Level 10. Is this going to fit? I need a new cooler anyway and this looks to be a good price.

I never knew these existed?!
I guess these are passive liquid coolers right? Like a radiator in reverse.. Clever!
What about maintenance? Does it need a water change or something after some years?
Edit: apparently there's leak issues.. I'm going to pass...

They're actively cooled and require zero maintenance.
I'm not sure about this model but I've got the H110 and have had zero issues. Quality bit of kit and I don't think I can go back to air coolers now that I've tried and tested AIO water coolers.

Leaks are extremely rare, they obviously just appear in reviews because they are the vocal minority (understandably). However Corsair's warranty (and others) will cover the cost of anything damaged by a leak and again, it's very unlikely. I have dealt with countless AIO coolers and have had yet to see a leak.

I've had the evo 12, noctua dh14, h60 and currently using h110. i love them all but noctua had the lowest temp compare to all them :smile:
This h45 beat any air cooler at this price point though :smile:

Thanks, replacing the stock cooler with this!

I had a similar cooler but they are massive.
I much prefer the clean look AIO's provide. Definitely worth the trade off when you factor in the idle temps and tjmax of cpus.
