Corsair 100% take care of the issue. They send UPS or FEDEX to collect the gear, clean and test it and if it works they send it back and if it doesn't they cut you a cheque in dollars to the market value of your damaged items.
Honestly, seriously don't worry about Corsair they're angels when it comes to leaks.
Recently I have seen two leaks on OCUK. One was a burnt out 970 and one was a 780ti. The guy with the 970 was offered market value, so £230 or so in dollars. The guy with the 780ti was offered around the same but freaked out and posted on Reddit (honestly he was a real *swear word*, nasty and spiteful) and he ended up getting more money, because he was obviously greedy and wanted a 980ti.
But it's not a common occurrence.

I would imagine if you went to the Corsair forum and posted about it they would help you out.
That thread is the one about the 970/780ti and both cases were sorted.
Coolit are *swear word*. All they seemed interested in was finding out why the cooler leaked, rather than trying to help me. They had me take god knows how many photos which was incredibly stressful.
Never again. I know what AIOs they make now and I just avoid them. I've had a Corsair H50 (the original) two Antec Kuhler 620s, Corsair H110, two Corsair H100 (that were Coolit I think but never leaked. I still have one in a box in the cupboard) and now an Asetek and of course my Fury X which is soon to become two. I have two H55s in my wife's PC (one on the GPU one on the CPU)
None of them have leaked. It was literally just the Coolit Eco I had.

It's just a replacement here, it must be a EU Law or something with you guys able to get a refund.
I'm getting ready to sell all of my Corsair products expect for three of them.
Few horror stories there, that's the only thing that's put me off with the AIO coolers. Though it seems to be more of a rarity now.
I cant remember who recommend the Kelvin series of coolers to me but I thinking of going for the Fractal Design Kelvin S24.
Anyone had any experience or heard anything negative about these? They really look the part though I'd have to swap the fans for red ones

I wanted to fool around a bit today with the advanced stuff on my mobo, manually set phase usage, load line calibrations etc. In a prime 95 20 minute ran the ai suite showed 85C on sensor 1 and 62 on sensor two... I touched the heatsink and scorched my finger a little bit 
As much as I like air coolers myself, seeing those weights just waiting to break my motheboard when it gives... and who knows what other damage it could cause..
I never use the large air coolers unless my client specifically requests it and if they do they are required to come and pick up the system in person. I remember one time when I was feeling nice and said OK. Shipped it out and what do you know the cooler snapped the MB even though I plastered red FRAGILE tape all over the package. I also added air padding best I could to help. But no, the cooler had it out for me.
For me personally, never had any leaks as of yet. Only dead pumps.

Hows the Fury X going with the new Crimson drivers? Much of a performance increase?

It's crippled Fallout 4 really. Well, either that or the fact that Bethesda have released a forced update that has crippled Fallout 4. I haven't really played anything else on the rig for a while as I built a TV PC and I've been gaming on that
Fallout 4 performance seems to be like a prossie's kecks. Up down up down....I'm hoping that once I get the other Fury X in there I will be happy to finally try and get into Witcher 3, which apparently I should be able to run on ultra with Hairworks and everything and not dip below 30 FPS.
But really I'm just waiting for the new Tomb Raider tbh dude. Got it pre ordered for my birthday at the end of the month

I can play Fallout 4 @ 1440p with everything on ultra and FXAA with Godrays and Shadows on low with a 760x2.
4k is a whole different bitch though dude. It really is...

I agree, perhaps when Pascal and Arcticislands are released they will be THE single card 4k experience?
Guessing you dont ship them via AUs couriers.

No I don't because when I have completed the build someone usually picks it up but I have put a few in the back of the car "boxed" and delivered them and never had a problem so far..
I suppose any build if it was transported interstate or over large distances would incur some type of damage regardless of what type of cooling solution being utilized?
But as I said I have never transported a build interstate but air coolers are fixed pretty tightly?
