I want to get an air cooler that allows me to replace liquids in case the liquid evaporates. Also are the pumps on those any good.

If your only reason for wanting a refillable AIO is because you're afraid the liquid will evaporate, dont worry. AIO's last for years without having liquid change state (it's a sealed system, there's nowhere for any liquid to go)

The coolant is designed for long usage. I haven't heard of a single AIO, that has had problems with the liquid. The pump will die sooner because of the age.

If the warranty is over and you see bubbles is it time for a replacement.

Not easily, but eventually. AIOs are designed to be maintenance free and can last a very long time. 

 

If you're concerned about things breaking (really, the only thing that will break eventually on an AIO is the pump), then you'd need to go with either a custom loop or with a modular loop like EKWB's AIOs, where you can buy new parts to add into the loop using pre-filled modules with QDC fittings.

The irony here is that an AIO that allows you to replace liquids are the only ones who will have issues with liquid evaporating (within their lifetimes).

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

Have a look at Overclockers if your in the UK. Maybe look at the modular EK stuff as it sounds like your new to it. Make sure not to mix metals though.

So would an all aluminium setup be ok that ek just made.

Yeah, as long as you have the corresponding water block. LTT did a video on this:

Do you have a compatible GPU and want to watercool that too? Then I would pick the EKWB Fluid Gaming A360G.

Please do note that only GPU's with a reference design PCB or a Founders Edition card are compatible with the GPU block included in that kit.

 

If you're unsure or don't have a compatible GPU then take the H150i.

STORAGE: WD PC SN530 512GB + Samsung Evo 860 500GB // COOLING: Full custom loop // DISPLAY: LG 34UC89G-B

Could also check out the expandable swiftech aios. Seeing your are looking at a 360mm the h320x might be to your liking.
