Corsair H110 GT how long it lasts?

[dudrjs79]

I am thinking to get the H110 GT because I never used the liquid cooling before and looks awesome.
my question is how long would it last? does the liquid dry itself over the years or leak? if it doesn't last at least 5 years I would get air cooler(Noctua NH-D15) instead.
anyone used the liquid cooler before and how reliable is it??

More important question, why do you think you need a H110 GT? Are you in the USA? There are other coolers by other manufacturers that might work as well and be cheaper, or better.

AOIs are generally reliable and last a decent time. It should last five years. They are sealed systems.

I am not in USA. I have been using the air coolers for years and thought I use the liquid cooler this time see if it works better performance than air cooler. I wouldn't try liquid cooler if it lasts less than 5 years.
would you recommend air cooler or AOI? is there any advantage for using AOI?

Yes. An AOI is better if you want to transport your system a lot. There is less strain on the motherboard. In some small systems it is much easier to fit an AIO in the case, than a CPU cooler. For some extreme CPUs, you need all the cooling you can get and a big water cooler is a little better. Finally, a liquid cooler loos cool, so you might use it for taste and aesthetic reasons.

If non of these apply, use an air cooler. A good AIO will last as long as you need.
