I've never touched water cooling due to the added hassle, but these days, with the plethora of well-performing all-in-one sets available, I've started thinking about getting one of them. The many reviews available are all well and good, but what they naturally never mention is the longevity of such sets.
What I'd like to know, if anyone can tell me, is how long I can count on a water cooling set to go on working without needing intervention or a swap. The reason I've never bothered with water before is because I want my computer to be as no-hassle as possible. Every air cooler I've ever had has worked flawlessly for years; the last one for almost five years of continuous operation. And that's what I'm wondering - if, say, a Corsair Hydro, Cooler Master Seidon or a NZXT X60 will do the same.
Anyone?
