MSI is recalling MAG CoreLiquid 240R/360R AIO coolers for hitting abnormally high idle temps

pcgamer.com:

After reports that some MSI liquid AIO coolers were running at high temps, investigations have finally lead to a recall of MSI's MAG CoreLiquid 240R and CoreLiquid 360R all-in-one coolers. If you're rocking one of these in your machine right now, don't panic, just head on over to the recall page where you can apply for a swap.

If you're unsure whether this affects you, we've put some tips at the bottom of this article to help you discover what cooler you have, and what to do about it.

Our sister site Tom's Hardware explains how the issue with the AIO coolers surfaced after users started noticing idle CPU temperatures of over 62°C. MSI makes it clear that only a «small portion» of coolers are affected, and that the problem is caused by sediment buildup—a byproduct of the coolant used—which can accumulate over time and cause blockages. 

Don't worry though, if you've got an MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R or 360R it's unlikely to get to the point of exploding all over your beautiful PC's innards. However, the resulting temperatures of a sediment buildup can trigger T-junction-Max thermal failsafes—basically it'll slow itself down to save from overheating, which is also known as throttling. 

Not something you want to hear as a gamer, particularly if you're trying to earn a living from games and rely on streaming, for example, as your main source of income.
