im progressivly building my new pc build but im not sure what cooling i get for my cpu. i was thinking about the noctua nh d14 or the Thermalright Macho x2. the problem is i cant find a case with my budget to fit those massive coolers. so i thought i should get a AIO watercooler. the seidon 240V was the only one at that price point. since AIO might leak(i dont want that to happen) how long will it last? the case im buying in the NZXT S340 btw

Like all moving parts in an engine, there will be chances of a faulty component. AIO's aren't exactly very reliable but they aren't horrible either. I've had my Corsair H50 for about 5 years and I have a pair of them working in two systems since. You could pick up the NZXT X52 and match it with your NZXT S340 chassis. They are new to the market and would be something I'd suggest over an aged cooler since the Seidon 240v was made a long while back and can exhibit QC issues.

Mind sharing your full system's specs...as well as your budget? I'm sure a Cyrorig H7 would cool your CPU and do it at 1/3rd or half the price of the AIO's listed.
