Corsair AIO
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I used a 9 year old Corsair AIO with good results, and only upgraded because I wanted an AIO with a screen on it
- If you want an all corsair build, use a Corsair AIO.
- When I recently tried to add a Corsair AIO to a friends build, seems they switched off those for a “side by side connection” (like legos?) for the fans and a single proprietary cable that runs from the end of the connected fans to the RG...
Cons
- Had my Corsair AIO for 8 years. Ran perfect. Current one is 4 years old keeping my 9850x3D nice and cool. I heart Arctic has better performance, but I’ve had no issues with Corsair.
- My first Corsair AIO had pump failure within 1 year, this was in the time those Asetek sets just came out, but those sets have improved over time.
- Have a Corsair AIO for my 5600, but in maybe five years or less, that AIO will probably need to be replaced due to coolant loss or degrading pump operation...it's the nature of the beast.
- If the price difference is more then $40 usd, get the cheaper AIO, Corsair may be a bit better but its not worth double the price.
- But the cooler itself - no iCUE. *Just* the LCD screen.

When I recently tried to add a Corsair AIO to a friends build, seems they switched off those for a “side by side connection” (like legos?) for the fans and a single proprietary cable that runs from the end of the connected fans to the RGB hub.
