Most reliable AIO or kit? (more info inside)

The parts are already bought and awaiting assembly, just as soon as I decide on a CPU cooler.

 

I'm currently using a Corsair H-something (forgot but it's a small one fan unit) on my PC but need/want a new cooler for the new one.

I've never had an issue with Corsair and they have an amazing warranty but heard they changed the pump design (due to some legalities)to a more failure prone one so I was wondering if there are any better, as in more reliable options I could choose from? It doesn't have to be 'worth it' I just like the look of liquid coolers and dislike air coolers but I do want good quality and reliability (as in don't flood or fry my system, I work from it and can't have it down for even days not to mention weeks)

Any suggestions welcome, experiences, advice welcome. TIA

 

P.S.: custom loops look amazing but I'm a slob and would mess it up so that's out

Corsair or NZXT.

You dont need aditional TIM only if your going to delid and liquid metal would be the best for it and why Intel right now?

From time to time I build PCs for friends or family and if the "customer" wants an AIO i usually go for NZXT as my first pick, they look really nice aesthetically and are awesome quality, just consider changing the fans as they could be better (I prefer corsair maglev fans)

The X62 from NZXT is more or less the best sealed unit out there (quiet as balls, hella customizable LEDs, good performer), and then after it the H115i is generally regarded as the next-best thing for a good deal less money.

Thanks for the quick answers. Looks like the market's still not exactly saturated huh. Does anyone know about Swiftech? Their AIO units have clear pipes and I could add color to the fluid (or is that a bad idea?), that's the one I originally wanted...but no clue about the relability of it.

 

Billy_Mays, I'm replacing the preapplied gunk regardless of what AIO I get, little quirk of mine.
