Some Corsair Hydro Series H100 Coolers Affected with Fan Controller Issues
An increasing number of users of Corsair's Hydro Series H100 CPU water cooler have been reporting issues with its fan-controller on the company forums. Acknowledging this, Corsair issued a general warning to all owners of the H100 that it's likely that some of the coolers might be part of a bad manufacturing batch. It looks like Corsair is taking steps towards a general recall (taking back batches of H100 coolers off the shelves, and asking users of affected batches to return their coolers for free replacement).
Affected Hydro Series H100 series units belong to batch #11359403 (the number under the first barcode in the serial number sticker on your H100 package). The issue itself is related to the button on the unit that changes fan profiles. On affected coolers, the button doesn't change the fan profile, and the fan works on the default speeds. This doesn't quite render the cooler dysfunctional, but the cooler doesn't work as advertised, so it's a severe-enough quality issue. Corsair posted some clear directions on what owners of affected units should do next. The post by Corsair can be read here. ![]() Source: HardwareCanucks |

Well, Corsair doesn't actually manufacture these units so they can't know everything about it. They test them on their own and they probably inspect manufacturing process but other than that it's out of their hands. They can however provide aftersale support like the one mentioned here.
They will simply replace the units of possibly affected users.

thats true. Asetek is the OEM, So I guess Corsair are gonna turn around and give them a slap on the wrist and a finger wagging at.

They'll probably inspect all the recalled units and if found perfectly fine, they'll send them back into circulation. Either as replacement units for those who RMA their failed but in warranty units or as refurbished new units.

Still, Corsair was first to offer closed water loops to the masses with Hydro H50 and mos of ppl only know Corsair units.

It's not Asetek, it's CoolIT Systems. Asetek now manufacures Antec's liquid coolers.
