Lifespan of closed looped water coolers

[minimalist]

Just curious what the lifespan of these generally is. If anyone has experience with them and has an idea I'd really appreciate your input.

I was going to get a Dark Rock Pro 3 but the price seems to have gone from $79 to $109 overnight and for that price it makes me start to consider a water cooler. What I'm looking at right is the NZXT Kraken X60 and the Corsair H110. How long should I expect it to last? Should I be concerned about leakage or anything?

[Rorgash]

the H110 should last for years, i got a H60 or whatever it is and its still running now after 5-7 years

The H60 wasn't out that long ago and which is it 5 or 7 years?

They should last at least a few years. I've had my H100i for around a year and have had no issues at all.

Depends on how long you use it. The main component is the pump

5-7 years is the general concensus

Wait a little and get the Dark rock 3 Pro once the price is back to 79$. (Likley won't take more than 2 days. )

I think that should be more like "2-3 years"

 

Concerning lifespan and reliability though, if you get a "non faulty" unit you can expect it to last for a few years I'd guess. However you just can't beat the reliability and lifespan of a normal air cooler as the only parts that can be worn out are the fans-which can be swapped ofc, where as in a watercooler you also have a pump that's more likely to fail. However I'd not be scared of that fact as I'd imagine a pump in one of those units could last for a few years at least.

 

As for leakage I wouldn't be concerned at. Corsair had a few faulty units when they first started making AIOs but they've now matured.

i got it when i first built my computer before collage which is at least 5 years ago, but could be a few more before that, its kinda been 5 years ago now for 2-3 years

 

3 years in school, then 1 year, then 1 more year, then 1 more year and then another year and now one more year after this summer i think

 

and im not sure about the exact version since it was so long ago, but its a 120mm Corsair closed loop watercooler

Thanks guys!
