Reusing Heatsink?

[lt_wentoncha]

Howdy all,

I'm thinking about cannibalizing the vast majority of parts from my build about a two years ago, one of them is the Corsair H50.

I've just come back from a deployment, and as I await to get all of my stuff from household storage I have some worries about the mechanical reliability of the pump due to age (and of course, non-use).

Anyone with a Corsair H50 that has been in use - are you having issues?

Thanks.

I know actual water cooling pumps can last like 5+ years in operation, and since yours is a closed system, I don't think you need to worry, unless there are any outer signs of leakage or similar.

Maybe try connecting it up off-board first, and make sure it still works?
