So i was wondering, what would happen if an AIO CPU cooler leaked in a system.

 

I've always thought that the company that makes the AIO would be responsible as the user dint put the loop together them self.

 

So would the company be responsible for replacing your PC parts that got damaged?

Yes, as long as the User hasn't been violating the warranty, such as abusing the cooler, and it is still within its warranty period (as what I know) 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

NZXT:

Should our Kraken all-in-one liquid cooler leak due to a manufacturing defect, we will either replace or refund you the cost of the damaged parts as per our limited warranty policy. Valid proof of purchase for the Kraken and the damaged parts are required.

This does leave a little bit open to interpretation, as this could imply they will only replace Kraken parts.

 

Corsair does not say anything like this that clearly:

https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033067832-Corsair-Limited-Warranty

It only mentions improper installation of their Hydro X (open-loop) cooling system will void the warranty.

 

So in the event the AIO does break some other system parts, they would probably want to inspect it all before giving you a new/equal product.

Or just use air cooling ;)
