Average lifespan of an AIO?

[Wingfan]

I am currently using an Corsair H105 which I bought in 2014 for my 4790k, OC to 4.8 for a few years. So far its still working well with a 5600X stock.
I am getting concerned because of the age of the cooler.

 

What is the average life span of an AIO?

Average is between 5-7 years, depending on how much you use it of course.

There's no clear age limit, now after 8 years you have increased chance of failure, but it may last for still 10 years with luck !!

Then there's the evaporation thing, normally liquid do evaporate over time, your AIO should already suffer from it, so lose performance over time; but you can check if cooling is still good enough

Just ran Cinebench and it topped out at 57c. Whats a better stress test ?

You're already past the average lifespan. More modern AIO's will perform a lot better. Alas, the 5600x isn't a very hot chip though so you're probably fine

I'll be the odd one out here, the last one I had, last almost exactly a year before it let loose, dumping coolant everywhere inside my PC.

if its astek pump... all over the place. if not pretty decent.

I'm not sure I've had one fail, but I haven't also used one over 3-5 years.  I've had my custom loop for quite a while.  Looks like I'm coming right up on 5 years (with about 4 processors).  The thing is it's easy to just replace individual parts if something goes wrong.

 

EDIT: It seems the D5 pump is rated for 50000 hours.  At my usage that is probably about 10 years.  I have my computer set to sleep.  That is likely the bearings from what I read it will just get loud instead of spontaneously failing.

Why go look for trouble? Cinebench is fairly representative for real world stress testing. If you don't have an issue, you don't have an issue. It seems you're fine. Just enjoy your system a little while longer!

folding@home or prime grid. if you want to max out  both thermal load and watt load.
