Official Corsair Hydro Series Club - Page 2296

post #22951 of 22953
I'd reach for my H80/H100 right now but I'm lazy and it's out of reach... both of mine have the greenish copper oxidation on them... Almost like an old penny would get (but it's only a little bit discolored, not like the whole plate.). I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Wanna take a picture for us if it's not in use?

Believe it or not good old Coca Cola will remove tarnish from copper. There's a ton of other uses for it as well as a cleaning agent. If alcohol doesn't make the surface clean enough you're going to have to find alternatives. Another thing you could try is this stuff called Bar Keepers Friend which is a white powder/compound you mix with a little water and use a dobie sponge or soft cloth to work it in and then clean it off with water. After doing that I would follow up with alcohol just to make sure everything is very dried out before applying your TIM. Good luck and post before/after pics.

After no luck with Ebuyer, I posted on the Corsair forums and RAMGUY replied asking me to request an RMA.

A few days later UPS turned up to collect the faulty unit and a few days after that a replacement turned up.

Haven't installed it yet because I'm waiting on a new case to turn up.
