How long do AIOs last?

[Floresdorf]

I have heard, from many sources, that if your AIO lasts 2 or 3 years without having to refill (if applicable) or replace, you are very lucky.

But this sounds very extreme, at least to me. How can such a pc part last so little?

Or is this just wrong and people are exaggerating?

On average it's about 5 years. Some people do have it die in shorter amounts of time, and there are some people out there that have ones that are 10 years old. It's long enough that most people will build a system, and by the time they're ready to build a new one (most people have systems for 3-5 years) the AIO will be nearing the end of they're life.

i have had about 8 aio, noene of them have died of "natual causes".  
(and why so many, im an ethusiast xD)

I have several that are at or beyond the 10 year mark. I've never had one fail whether it's one that's sat for a year or two or one that's in constant rotation amongst my test benches, I've also never had to fill one so far. There's bad apples out there but they seem to be the exception in most cases and not the rule. Just stick to the well known models and do your due diligence; watch and read a couple reviews on the model you're looking at and go from there.

Theyve massively improved from the initial Castle lineup that have ruptured tubes from shitty fittings that they have. The LT720 achilles heel so far is the fans thats included. Its loud compared to Arctic offering.

I looked at that arctic offering (the arctic liquid freezer ii 360) and it’s a bit worse in cooling, and, let’s admit it, the deepcool looks way better.

I’d rather have better cooling than quieter fans, plus the arctic is a lot more expensive in my region.
