How long do closed loop coolers last?

A closed loop system such as a Corsair H100i should generally last 5 years assuming you don't have an outlier issue such as a pump failure or burst tube. It may even last longer. A custom loop, even with biocide or silver in the loop, will require maintenance about once every 6-9 months.

What does AIO mean?

All In One

Are liquid coolers worth it?

Liquid cooling is the best way to cool a CPU because water transfers heat much more efficiently than air. Liquid cooling also makes your PC run quieter because you won't have fans constantly running at a high RPM. However, liquid cooling a PC can also be dangerous if water leaks onto hardware.

How often do you have to refill water cooling?

Under normal use the coolant should not have to be completely drained out and replaced for at least 5 years." This makes me feel a lot better. I suggest every 6 months to a year, or for that extra reassurance, every 3 months should be okay.

Is AIO better than air?

AIO cooling used to be significantly better than air cooling. Today, however, there are many air cooling systems that rival AIO cooling systems. Technology has closed most of the performance gap between the two. At the same time, water is always going to be better at dissipating heat than air.

Is Cooler Master AIO good?

A huge heat-sink/fan combination might perform well enough, but the best CPU coolers eat up a ton of real estate inside your case. Liquid cooling requires much less space, and it looks a lot niftier to boot.

What liquid is in CPU coolers?

Liquid cooling is a highly effective method of removing excess heat, with the most common heat transfer fluid in desktop PCs being (distilled) water. The advantages of water cooling over air cooling include water's higher specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity.

How do I know if my AIO is working?

Even if the pump is dead you can probably be ok by entering the BIOS for like 30 seconds or so to check, worst case scenario your system will shut off due to temps but it should be ok relatively speaking.
