Does this AIO cpu cooler leak easily?

[Alcatraz]

I really want to buy this cpu cooler https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16835856078 (Deepcool captain 240ex) but im afraid it will leak easily like 4-5 months. If you guys think i should buy another cpu cooler my 2nd option is NZXT kraken x52. Its sexy as well but pricy as ♥♥♥♥ which then cost me another 60 bucks. So what do u guys think?

Deepcool renew their cooler to EX version that's not leak easily.But im afraid that is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cuz when i saw 1 of the review on newegg the cpu cooler leak easily

They are known for cheap quality, that much I can say, I would seriously avoid any AIO by DeepCool

I would look strongly into EKWB

I would avoid AIO liquid cooling completely. You'll get exactly the same temperatures from an air cooler, they're cheaper, easier the maintain, don't leak and run much quieter.

Try a Cryorig R1 Universal. Fits tall RAM well, good build quality, and you can buy different colours to match various cases. Probably matches your AIO for cooling, but I would think it's much cheaper.

It is possible they can leak even custom water coolers can leak that is the risk of liquid cooling. No Way Around It. Now with that said it's rare but it's possible it can happen. Some companies like Corsair have outstanding warranty on there AIOs they have a five year warranty guarantee they will replace any leaky water coolers and they will replace any damaged Hardware that was caused by the leak. But it has to be a Manufacturing defect if you did something to cause it to leak then you're on your own

If you want to play it safe stick to air cooling

You've got it backwards. Air coolers are much quieter than liquid coolers. A large air cooler runs from between 15 to 25 Db at full speed. An AIO is typically 35-45 Db because it's got a noisey pump in addition to the same amount of fans. The fans themselves are usually cheap, inefficient rubbish.

Think about it logically. My Cryorig has two large fans. That Deepcool has two fans, of the same size but cheaper models without the sound-deadening that mine have. It's also got a noisey pump. Which do you think would make more noise? Two efficient fans turning slowly, or two less efficient fans spinning quickly and a large pump?

I'm willing to back that up with evidence if you need it.

Actually new water coolers are just as quiet as the air ones

Not to mention it saves a lot of space and looks a lot cleaner

But the real advantage of liquid cooling is the high-end coolers outperform air but that should not be an issue unless you're doing extreme over clocks low end ones perform roughly about the same as air

That argument is flawed, even the liquid cooler needs an activ fan to cool the radiator. And if you intend not to to mount the radiator, but to switch it with the default back exhaust fan and leave out one active fan completely, you just increase worload on the rest of the fans, keeping in mind that noise levels do not rise in a linear fashion. Not to mention the waterpump does it's own noise..

Yeah, pumps are pretty loud. Some over 30 decibels.

The other thing to think about is the quality of fans used. Cheap AIOs save money by using very low-quality fans. While a Noctua or Cryorig or BeQuiet! will often have top of the line silent fans that you cost a lot of money if you bought them separately.

The cheap ones are loud yes but the good ones are pretty quiet you can't just do a sweeping broad generalization they come in different qualities

My Corsair gtx 110i is pretty damn quiet

But I do have aftermarket fans on it LOL much better quality fans
parts I have laying around from previous Builds

Problem is, my Cryrorig probably cost about a third as much even with custom paint.

GTX H110i out performs all or almost any aftermarket air cooler
Again. That is the only real advantage of quality water cooler... but not by a lot over the top air coolers

Nothing from the typical Case/PSU brands like; CoolerMaster, Antec, Corsair, NZXT... have any really good AIO at all, period; when compared to ones from say EKWB. There is just no coming close for what you get from those other brands versus EKWB. Plus EKWB offer much more than just AIO Unit types also. In most setups, you're better off just using Air Coolers anyways. You don't really gain as much from an AIO in most situations. To really go above and beyond what air cooling can provide you, you'd need to think about a custom loop in order to really achieve that well enough.

i just like how clean that AIO make my case do not rely like a BIG A$S air cooler in my case to get the same preformec and Corsair have outstanding warranty on there AIOs they have a five year warranty guarantee they will replace any leaky water coolers and they will replace any damaged Hardware that was caused by the leak

[Bad 💀 Motha]

LOL, no brand will cover your hardware in the event of a leak; you are dreaming.
