Hey, 

Im going to buy a liquid cpu cooler and I wanted to know what you guys would recommend. I'm looking for the best performance and the most reliable cooler, as it would be difficult for me to send it back if I have any issues. Thanks for anyone that gives any insight on this. As of now, I'm thinking about using a NZXT Kraken x61.

getting a leak is pretty unlikely considering that you install and use the cooler well, myslef using a H100 is over 2 years old now and works like new keeping the temps very reasonable under load @4.5ghz getting max not hotter than 70 degrees celsius

Corsair H105 hasn't let me down in 2 years and is still going strong. My H100i leaked and had a dead pump though, but Corsair replaced it and all the damaged computer parts when it broke.

The x61 has the longest warranty on the market.  The Corsair products have incidental damage protection.  Neither will leak if you don't pull the tubes out. 

 

Honestly, I am always more concerned with damaging hardware using big air-coolers than I am with aios.
