Forum Overclocking : Water Cooling [Solved] Question on the Corsair H60?

Best answer from vollman1.

Hey guys. Im looking to upgrade my CPU heat sink and was looking at the Corsair H60. My question is: Do you ever have to buy the liquid and change it or do you just install this into your computer out of its packaging and leave it alone forever? Thanks!

also should i buy some arctic silver 5 or is the stock thermal grease good enough?

The coolant is factory sealed and doesn't need to be maintained.
And, the factory applied grease is great. No need to do anything other than mount it to your cpu.

I use the H100 and love it so far (2 months)!

No offense to OP, but this information can easily be had simply by reading the description on Corsair's site on product description, or any other page that discusses these coolers.

The single largest problem with forums is that people aren't willing to do any research or learning on their own...they just expect to ask a question and get the answer they want without first using Google.
