iF Design Award | Environmental Friendly Rice Husk Packaging
AORUS believes in protecting the environment and has invested greatly in this ideal by creating quality packaging with rice husk as the main material.

"we started this packaging project not so long ago, purely to minimize the impact on our environment, the iF award is another nod to our vision and an acknowledgment that we can protect the environment by having great design cues," states Poon Chee, Packaging Design Manager at AORUS.

I have never risked water ever, had my big Noctua heatsink for years now and used it in over 5 builds. Never changing. Never had any of those other issues either, you might have bad luck mate lol

You should be happy to be still alive.
The coolant is similar to the antifreeze you fill into cars and contains Ethylene clycol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze#Ethylene_glycol) which builds crystals in your kidneys and make you pee blood.
Kids, dont do such stuff at home!
