What Are the Chances of an AIO Leaking?

All-in-one coolers, or AIOs for short, are a great way of cooling your CPU. They effectively dissipate heat, are easy to install, are less obtrusive, and – depending on who you ask – look way better than air coolers.

However, ever since we were children, we’ve been told that water and electricity don’t mix. That's good advice, which explains the understandable hesitation about clamping a couple tubes of water to your CPU and leaving them to ominously hang there over your GPU

Luckily, AIOs are pretty dang reliable, and because they are factory sealed, they are significantly more leak-resistant than a custom loop. Especially for first-time builders.

Of course, we can’t speak for every AIO manufacturer, but we can say that our AIOs have an exceptionally low leak failure rate of just 0.016%.

Basically, this means that if you buy your AIO from CORSAIR, you are very unlikely to experience a leak. Plus, with a 5-year warranty, sometimes 6-year, even if you do experience an issue, we’ve got your back.

Still not convinced? An Air Cooler like our A115 offers the ultimate peace of mind. No liquid, no risk of leaks. The fans are the only moving part and if they fail you can just replace them.
