Why a 'cheap liquid cooler' and not a cooler that performs better?

I'm sorry, this entire thread just sounds like 'I want to tell people I have liquid cooling without having to spend any money to do so'

Just having liquid cooling doesn't necessarily mean it is any good.

You don't need cheap AIO. 5 months ago I bought CM Masterliquid Lite 240. It was rubbish and after maybe a month later started to sound weird. The pump was dry and you can guess where the coolant went - all over my GPU.
My GPU somehow survived and i've replaced it with Air cooler.
I bought 5-6 days ago Arctic Freezer 34 eSport DUO - it's fairly quiet and it can handle my 9700K at 4.4 GHz. My highest temps are 60C at 50% fan speeds.
