Questions about getting water cooling

Go to solution Solved by Ghost,

So what's the benefit of that? Just not having to replace the liquid? And does the liquid go bad eventually? 

There are a lot of places that have discussed this countless times all over the web. I suggest look up "benefits of AIO coolers".

Me and my friend both have almost the same cpu (I have a fx 6100 and he has a fx 6300), but he has water cooling on his and he doesn't do massive games on it. I got a stock fan taht came with my cpu and it's not running that great and also I want to overclock my cpu because it's lagging on some games. So I asked him if we could replace both of our cpu and coolers and he accepted. Now before I do it, I wanted to know how often will I have to change the liquid and all, and how much the liquid costs? And is it worth it?

CPU=Intel i5 7600k @ 4.8GHz Motherboard = Asus Z170 Pro Gaming RAM = 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3000 GPU = Gigabyte RTX 2060 WF Storage = 1TBGB HDD 7200 rpm + 200GB Kingstone SSD PSU = Corsair CX750 Display = Acer GN246HL Cooling = Cooler Master Cooling Masterliquid lite 120

It sounds like your friend has an AIO loop such as the H100i. If this is true then you don't need to replace the fluid.

I don't know much about liquid coolers so what's that? I mean it kinda looks like it, but the radiator is smaller.

In that case he has a H80i. If it doesn't have a light in the middle it is probably a H80.
