Hi,

I'm getting myself a new rig. But can't find the right cooler. Started looking for AIO liquid coolers, because my case only allows 155mm air coolers and I want to overclock in the future. (wanted to get noctua, but the best ones are too high)

I'm searching and searching for good/perfect AIO's under 150€ but when I see the review at least 6-17% say that there's something wrong or even leaks.

I'd appreciate some opinions on which AIO I could rely on not leaking onto my new system.

Actually I'm giving it a thought on getting the raijintek orcus 360, dunno...

Many thanks ahead

If reliability has a high priority choose products that come with long warranty. 100% leak proof is only an air cooler. But some manufacturers trust their products to give 5-6 years warranty.
Look for the Alphacool Eisbaer 360 or LT360; Fractal Design Celsius S36 or buy a Phobya kit and build it yourself so you can be sure it is assembled with care.

Hi volkermjr , I would recommend you to go for a custom made cooling system/cooler.Visit www.barrowint.com or www.frozencpu.com and select the appropriate parts for you system and build your own and it will give you best result for sure.

and as USAFRet said "Perfect hardware does not exist" I would like you say none is perfect until you don't make it so or put you efforts to make it perfect With the word of perfection NASA ,APPLE,MICROSOFT has build their image and still stand firm for their perfection and hard work.

Rest is your choice I am here to guide such friends and hope you might have got your answer.Have a great day..!

Firstly I wanna thank you so far for the help:)

I've actually stayed away from custom liquid coolers, as I thought the joints wouldn't be that reliable or would tend to leak faster more easily than an AIO. But are they really more reliable?
I'm just worried as hell to mess up my system an year after build :S
