Most AIOs are similar, yes, and most are fairly reliable. The failures you see online are typically very small percentages of those actually in-use. It is kind of like the cable or phone service, no one complains unless it stops working.

That wasn't a question OP asked but which of those liquid coolers. I have good experience wit Cooler master products and AiOs, 4th year on CM Nepton 140 XL, cooling well OCed processors and no problems at all. CM Seidon 120 on another one also about that old.
I hate those enormous air coolers taking up most space in the case an covering and interfering with RAM and other parts. Smaller air coolers make sense but larger ones are better replaced by AiOs which are much safer than custom ones.

@The Paladin
It is regretful that you can't distinguish a question from a statement.
There is also no judgment in my post, only a clarification question.
As for your valued proposal of what I should do, keep it to yourself - I haven't asked for your opinion and never will.

And just FYI, I've not used air coolers in my computers for over a decade. I just don't by marketing BS about AiOs. they have very few niche practical usecases. Anyone with a bit of knowledge in cooling can tell you that, but you learn your things from sources like HW Canucks that are great artist and tech illiterate. So keep talking about AiOs, RGBs dangerous bottlenecks and pink unicorns, just don't talk to me.

Sorry but it was a statement that OP wants a liquid AiO cooler and a question about (long term) reliability of those coolers. I don't disagree with you about some air coolers being better than some AiO but that's on OP to decide. AiO coolers have come long way in both reliability and effectiveness and I stopped building custom ones unless using chillers.
This is not from some "literary sources" or Youtube and such but from 30 odd year experience and even longer in hydraulic and HVAC.

^^ you are correct that the "which one" was implied.
you are also correct that sealed AiOs made few advancements, mostly in reliability. performance and noise are still way too bad for the price. But they can be used in very compact builds and could look good.
Yet, IMHO it's important to understand what OP trying to achieve before sending him to spend his money on something he does not necessarily needs/wants.
For the record, IMO custom loops are expensive hobby that provide great results at even greater cost. And it's really complicated. But it's fun to do and beating everything else in thermals and noise.

Let's stop with the bickering over semantics. Yes, it is good to offer opinion but also good to offer response to what is being asked. Both are relevant as things might be discovered that might not have been previously known.

Many AIO coolers are actually built by the same manufacturer and rebranded, which most people do not take into account. Many AIOs are very similar in performance, although I have seen a few minor differences, mostly due to fans used, and I test a lot of AIOs.
