Well, according to Corsairs Faq:
Q.Will I need to fill the unit with water? Do I have to perform any maintenance?
A.Both H50 and H70 units are designed to be a closed-loop solution with no maintenance required at all. The units come pre-filled and feature proprietary hoses that virtually eliminate evaporation of water. The expected lifespan of the average unit is significantly longer than the 2 year warranty period.
Q.What’s the liquid inside the H50/H70?
A.The liquid inside the H50 and H70 is distilled water with Propylene Glycol added to prevent corrosion and organic build-up.
Fans Corsair gives are crap. Get better 120mm fans and decent air flow with fans.
I am currently using two Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe fans in a push/pull configuration with my H70 setup. They're 120mm case fans running at 1,800RPM and pushing 73CFM at 27dBA.Can you recommend one with high CFM Airflow that is also quite? With all the marketing it's really difficult to believe.
What are some temps people are getting with oc'd sandybridges @ 100% load? I'm wondering if one of these would be a good step up from a 212 +
Got a question for you guys; Is it possible or advisable to change the tubing on the H70? I like the simplicity of the all-in-one design but I'd prefer to have clear tubing with red fluid.
I don't believe im in a situation where watercooling is an option i'd think about, however I have been looking into the various kinds of watercooling there is.
The H70 does appeal to me, however I am a man who lieks his asthetics, so the fact it's all in black piping really irritates me, and on top of that apparently the fan noise is something that really is an issue.
I think, like what many people have said here, if they fixed or got rid of the fans in them, and then added maybe clear tubes or just something a little more "pretty", it'd be ideal. I only say this because when people spend say $300 on a Corsair 800D case or the like, i'm sure they want the insides of thier PC to look pretty too, haha.
Tell me you didn't use "pretty" to describe a [H]ard "project." Visually pleasing, aesthetic, whatever...just don't bring that {s}oft word "pretty."
What's up with these hidden images that direct to Amazon, Hostgator and whatever else that site is?Corsair certainly need to work on the fan noise issue

You're temps sounds about right to me. 25C+43.6= 68.6 and you're getting 69. Don't know what you're complaining about.
Easy. Don't know, maybe some benchmarks I read were just too optimistic... Truth is that after more intensive testing it newer went higher, and after stopping it made a great work taking temps down pretty fast, so I think it's ok.
This is possible, people have done it, but be aware that the reason for the tubing we use is to prevent evaporation. Switching to clear tubing will void your warranty and you'll need to fill the unit as clear tubing has much higher evaporation ratings.
