I was wondering...
Do I need to refill liquid for this liquid cooler?
Or is it "no re-fill liquid?"

| from what I remember, the h50's supposed to be maintenance free, so no you don't have to refill it

yes, you'll need to refill it eventually. the liquid can't last forever.

You sure? check this. I just checked it by today.
| Quote: | Do sealed liquid coolers provide a compelling performance alternative to air?
Liquid-cooling proponents cite the benefits of a larger radiator placed further from the heat source, saying it provides superior results. Meanwhile, fans of air-cooling criticize liquid coolers for their cost, complexity, maintenance, and potential for leakage. Yet, sealed liquid systems have almost none of the problems associated with larger do-it-yourself options. Their plastic cooling lines are nearly impermeable to evaporation, so there's no need to refill them, and they're impervious to the contaminants that so often clog serviceable component coolers. Corsair relied on maintenance-free cooling expert Asetek to develop its universal-fit H50.

I think it could go longer than that and work just fine. Do not be tricked by "best".

Yeah, Hero. That's kinda the point. Just like getting an oil change for a car every x miles. It'll still run fine up until a certain point, but 'best' is always better than 'well damn, not it's getting too hot, I should have filled it up a few months ago'

You cannot compare a car to a pc. A pc will just overheat and turn off. A car motor will stop functioning period. Two very different worlds. Changing the oil on a car also keeps it from turning to sludge. You would know this right? Because the water in his liquid cooler is going to turn to sludge right? WRONG. Its water.
Do not compare pcs to my profession. Cars are a lot more in depth.
