Product Recalls

The soldering material used in the aluminum radiator, as well as impurities introduced during manufacturing, may cause a reaction with the chemical composition of the cooling fluid. Over time this may lead to sediment build-up in the circulating liquid getting caught in the fins of the CPU block, causing an increase in temperatures as a result of the blockage.

Lumen units that are not currently causing temperature issues are safe for continued use, however if you have purchased an affected unit from PLE you are welcome to return for a refund/replacement. You can also head to the Fractal Design website (linked below) and use their web form to sign up for a replacement unit. Replacement units from Fractal are expected to be available in the coming months, more information is available via the link below.
