The vast majority of hybrid coolers, including the Water 3.0, are not intended to be serviceable by users. They are the cheap and convenient alternative to custom liquid.By the way, should I try to change my Thermaltake Water 3.0's liquid by myself or not? I am using it since 2017 and it doesn't feel good anymore.
If I can fit a tower air cooler inside my chassis, then NONE OF THEM. PERIOD.Would you prefer to get an Arctic LIQUID FREEZER II 120 instead of Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 or Corsair Hydro Series H45?

120mm too? About the only time that size is worth investing money into is in a Small Form Factor chassis that can't fit any tower air coolers.
There's some exceptions amongst 120mm hybrids, such as Corsair's H80 and Arctic's Liquid Freezer II 120, thanks to their fatter radiators.

I have 7600k right now but using it on 4.7GHz with 1.280V. Looks like I can't decrease the V anymore, always blue screen. Bu I am considering to get a 5800X.You never stated what you intend to cool with ? Maybe neither one is enough ?
The only thing that I hate is liquid coolers loses their efficiency as time goes by. For an example, I feel like my 2017 bought water cooler is giving less performance than a cheap air cooler as I feel. Looks like I am going to buy an air cooler this time.The vast majority of hybrid coolers, including the Water 3.0, are not intended to be serviceable by users.

Low maintenance, no refill; keep the fans that still work, toss the rest out, and replace the cooler.

Those little 120mm hybrids are completely inferior to tower air; they just don't have enough going for them, at least IMO. I can only relate to performance, since my chassis is obscured most of the time.
It's a different story if your options were 120mm hybrids Vs top-down air coolers though... but since you mentioned the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo, it must mean you actually can fit tower air inside...
Top-down air < 120mm hybrid < Tower air = 240mm hybrid < 280mm ≤ 360mm. Something like that - it may be a bit oversimplified though.
[Huh. They don't seem to make 140mm hybrids anymore...]
It's just one of the downsides of hybrid coolers users pay to deal with, alongside dying pump, or clogs from expired biocides.I have 7600k right now but using it on 4.7GHz with 1.280V. Looks like I can't decrease the V anymore, always blue screen. Bu I am considering to get a 5800X.

This cooler is the same with the one you mentioned, right? https://www.akakce.com/islemci-sogutucu/en-ucuz-arctic-freezer-34-esports-duo-cpu-sogutucu-fiyati,462577085.htmlCooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120
Absolutely NOO.
Corsair Hydro Series H45 120
Better, but i still wouldnt get it.
A good 60$ AIR cooler will absolutely destroy both of them, and for a 5800X you need as much cooling as you can get.

Yes, its the same just in different color.This cooler is the same with the one you mentioned, right? https://www.akakce.com/islemci-sogutucu/en-ucuz-arctic-freezer-34-esports-duo-cpu-sogutucu-fiyati,462577085.html
I am going to use that CPU for morte than 5 years I believe, maybe I will also overclock it in future.
Prices always changes but please let me answer it in another way.Yes, its the same just in different color.
When buying a cpu that you want to use for 5+ years, you should really be thinking about better cooling and a solid motherboard.
How much can your budget for a CPU cooler stretch?
EDIT:
Especially when you want to overclock.
