I was planning to buy a cooler master nepton 240m aio liquid cooler for my new pc. I've read a lot of forums and reviews about liquid cooling and people say its not safe and there are chances of leakage. How safe are all in one coolers (closed loop). Is there a risk of leakage? Should i go for an air cooler instead?

Please help. Thanks

They're safe. As long as you use them properly and buy new. Of course there's a risk for leakage.

Safe it is, i had two Corsair H55 AIOs, one worked for 3 years +, it still works on the machine i sold to some guy, and the other one is working fine since december last year.

I've heard that Neptons are really good AIOs, my friend had one on his machine.

The leaks are very rare in more modern units, it will only happen if you twist the tubes waaay too hard or kink the tubes.

You should be good.

They are safe, but I would recommend sticking to a Corsair AIO Unit. Corsair is the only Manufacturer that has hardware warranty support if their AIO leaks and will replace anything that breaks if their AIO leaks. I had this happen with a Corsair h100i (non-GTX) unit 2 years ago and Corsair paid me back for the AIO and all the hardware that was broken by the AIO (CPU, Motherboard, PSU).

 

• NCASE M1 • i5-9600k • GTX 1080 FE • Z370N-WIFI • SF600 • NH-U9S • LPX 32GB • 960EVO •

If you buy a really cheap knockoff, there is of course good chance for leakage but you aren't buying a knockoff. Sure there is always a risk of leakage but that's slim to none on new and quality parts. They are also much safer than custom builds since you can screw things up yourself and have nobody to blame but you.

It will usually last a while that is why so many people use them, but just remember that everything breaks in time it is all just how long that time will be.

technically safer than custom loops

As long as you buy from a reputably company, they will be perfectly safe.

Also, most companies, if their cooler leaks and breaks your components, will replace your components for free.

only corsair handles collateral damages, the others like nzxt, cooler master, antec, and alike do not. read their warranty statements.
