Most pumps fail because they have been set at constant 100% speed, ideally they should throttle up and down. 

Also, whats the point of buying an AIO if I can't even run it at max load? Sounds janky to me

Again, I'm only doing this for experience, and I'm going to be selling this PC on ebay

That will most likely put people off because its more maintance, more prone to break in shipping/transport, and can have a load of issues if you're not careful with how its done

I make intelligent lights do cool things

Hmm, good point. Do you have any suggestions of channels I can watch to learn how to do it properly before proceeding? I have yet to find one personally.

Technically it fits in the New Build section, but since you're specifically asking for liquid cooling advice, I thought it would better fit in here!

If you wanna save money go on Aliexpress and by Bytski fittings and blocks, you can find fans and res and blocks on there as well, if you are trying to save big.

I think you are greatly underestimating how good some of that stuff can be. You might wanna do more research on Bytski and Barrow before you dismiss them that quickly
