Looking for a CPU cooler

Hello, I am new to cooling using AIO's and was wondering if I can get some advice.

As of now, I am using a  I5 4690K @4.2 Ghz but will be upgrading to a 7700k later this year. I have been looking at several brands and have come to the conclusion that corsair seem to be the best. 

I have a few questions however;

  1. what is the difference between the H115I and H110I?
  2. If the AIO was to leak and damage components, would Corsair replace said parts?
  3. If the pump was to die, potentially causing my CPU to die due to heat, would that be covered?

My last question is why EKWB have stopped making the AIO's they used to sell. Thank you for reading and hope you can help :D

 

EDIT: I forgot to ask what you would recommend to get.  It will probably be put into a corsair air 540

1. One is made by CoolIT and the other is made by Asetek. They're more or less the same TBH.

2. IIRC, if Corsair deems it to be their fault then they should cover the parts... but the chances of the AIO leaking is very low in the first place.

3. The CPU would thermal throttle. It has protections to ensure that it doesn't fry itself.

4. EKWB is introducing their EK-MLC AIOs "soon".

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Thanks, what AIO would you recommend? The H115I, H110I Or H100IV2?

Doesn't exactly matter. There's no real appreciable difference between them. Just get the cheapest one.

A) they have cheap full loop options instead

 

B) they are making a new gen of clcs.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Ah ok, I wouldn't trust myself to do a full loop. Only thought about them because Jayztwocents did a video on it

I recomended the fractal celcius s24/s36 or the evga CLC 280, they outperform the competition handily.

 

If you have space for it the Arctic freezer 240 is insane value, push pull and super thick radiator.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious
