RMA ?
That looks to be the clamps were rubber straps, put new metal ones on if it is out of warranty.

Agreed. Those aren't the tubes themselves but the "clamps" (if you can call a stiff rubber ring a clamp). The tubes themselves look fine. I'd just get some standard clamps and put them on there in their place instead. No need to take the tubes off or anything like that.
How old?

Ohh how long you had it?
Not surprised really, it's a very old first iteration of a C WC setup. They probably didn't expect that. All about what the cheap manu used to keep the C folks happy. Made in etc country, questionable builds. Glad yours lasted so long. Most we see here lasts a few months, pump died etc. Consider yourself lucky.
I bet you're past the warranty period, if not, post on 10 forums including the C forums and when you send in your RMA etc, link to every post you made.
Inform folks about this big time, you'll get things worked out.
Spend a week posting, building replies from the posts before looking for C input.
You go cheap, you get stuff like this....................

Do what? Why not just go straight to manufacturer if it is under warranty and have them take care of it? If it is under warranty and they don't want to do anything about it then yeah get the word out, but other than that why try causing trouble? No reason for that, at all. Geez man

well, if it's not under warranty, put some clamps over it and call it a day! I'd add some duct tape, for ghetto looks
Just peel the old ones off and use small zipties in its place

Hi, thanks to all for answers.
Today I showed the pictures to the responsible of RMA etc. in the shop where I bought the H60 and he told me I can have a replacement unit.
As for me I will ask a cash-back or a coupon because I don't want to take any risk or simply think about "how long my corsair watercooling will work?" (even after the assurances by the corsair guy in the forum linked by solofly)
P.S. my H60 was bought the 16th of february 2013, so less than 7 months ago..
Wow! Only 7 months! That's not good.
