Preventing Corsair H100 leaks

Hello
Just decided to purchase corsair h100i extreme performance (and bla-bla).
But I have seen many cases where it messed systems by leading, especially neat the paint of hozel joints.
So my question is simple- how do I prevent it from leaking? Should I put some tape or something at critical points?
My case is cooler master 690 2 Plus.

EDIT:
Oops. I think I posted in wrong section. Sorry about that if that's the case.

@OP: What is your system config ?

Liquid coolers, especially h80 and above, are for extreme OCing.

No way to prevent leak, if it leaks, your system is gone, should have asked us this question before buying it, always advise people to stay away from water coolers, in USA if it leaks corsair will replace all damages products, not in India.

Omg!
But I already spent 14k on h100i extreme performance.
I wanna overclock core i7 3770k to atleast 4.5GHz.

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
H80i is better than H100i if you see certain tests. Swiftech H220 is also another good cooler with thicker tubing+ a fillport which all those closed-looped coolers don't have. 14k for a cooler is just not right.

though i dont have any numbers to show, on paper at least, the HOC 40 should be better...it has a much thicker (45mm) copper rad....all you need is some better fans...
