I will never build another computer with an AIO liquid cooler. The pump in ANOTHER one died on me last week. Second in the last few years.
When an AIO dies, you are dead in the water. The computer won't run for 5 minutes.
I replaced it with a $35 tower cooler that can handle 200 watts.
If the fan on the tower cooler fails, it's a cheap, easy fix. And it'll still mostly work with the airflow in your system.
FUCK AIO Coolers. Total Air Cooler supremacy! I am so done.
