I've been thinking about getting a Corsair H150i Pro with this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GQMyWD Is it worth it? Chances of it leaking or pump breaking?

I'm using a H100i (v1) 2012 variant and, no, the H150i will not leak!

There's always a chance of it leaking or breaking.

It's not possible to manufacture a perfect failure-proof product.

I’ve been working with PC’s for almost 10 years, not once have I seen an AIO leak. If you’re worried maybe give her a shake before installing it, lol.

Set up the system on the MOBO box with stock cooler, hookup the pump and let it run for a minute.

So if I get the H150i Pro there should be no issues? or atleast the chances are very slim?

its always possible, but ive never personally seen one leak. and when i worked at an electronics retailer, i've sold hundreds of them, and never saw any returned for leaking.

Power up the unit outside of the system and run it for a few hours. If you hear the pump running, water moving, and the fans are spinning then you should be good to go. Also no leaks of course.

Let me go on a rant. AIO(s) won't leak, they will not leak, they are not supposed to leak, and if one does leak, the company will by all means payout to you any costs of it happening. There has only been 1-4 cases recorded of a AIO ever leaking, EVER! SO put it as like of this you have a 1/10,000,000 chance of it leaking. Trust me, it's not going to leak, this is something no one should worry about. If it would leak, they would never sell it in the first place. Your just causing your self stress delaying your purchase of something only a miracle could do, of making it leak.

It's not a custom loop lol.
