How likely out of 10 is it for Corsair AIOs like h100iv2, h110i to leak?

Im planning on building a pc with an i7 7700k and gtx 1080. But Im so worried about putting an AIO in it. I know that Air coolers like nhd15 etc are available but i dont wanna use those kinda large and heavy cooler cus im afraid that the mobo would break. Should i go for an Corsair AIO ? Would it leak?

Leak? Nearly zero unless you cut tubing somehow, or damage something. However the likelyhood you'll be back on here "my processor is 100c°" please help is much greater. I absolutely refuse to put a water cooler in a build for others. Pumps fail, blocks get air in them. Both result in horrible performance and are invisible points of failure. You can get the same results with air coolers for less money.

I've never used an AIO, but, although I don't see many "my Corsair is leaking" threads, I sure see a fair share of 'my Corsair Hxxx now runs 90C, is no longer pumping', etc....

My NH-D15 runs 61C in extended BF1 games, 64C in Intel stress test, or 71-73C in Prime 95/small FFTs, about as good as it gets for a 7700K, IMO...; and it will never leak or quit pumping :)

The all-in-ones, while not as good as a real custom loop, tend to pretty dependable, especially the ones from the large manufacturers. Though can't answer "1-10 scale" as that's a pretty meaningless to anyone not the person.

well its not going to leak as i have already used it but there are chances of PUMP fail and other hardware issue that will lead your system to without cooling option unless you get a RMA
with in a warranty period i got 3 Replacement and i had very wiered issue 4th time i am done with AIO now i am using air cooler cooler master air maker 8 and i am really happy with it i there is no big difference

Thanks for the reply nitinvaid20. I have a question for you though. Are there any RAM clearance issues with the master maker 8?

Well Yes and no Yes as you cant use High profile Ram but you can use 120mm fan for that but in my case i can use the last 3 ram slots and i have also removed my corsair vengence ram heat sinks :)
