Build Advice Deepcool LT720 360mm - Is it worth it?

[GBDev]

Hello,

I wanted to know if the deep cool LT720 is worth it and will it perform well with the i7-14700KF. Also, I've asked this previously but what are the chances of liquid coolers leaking? because I don't want to risk any loss especially when in my country it'll be a lot harder to get the warranty to replace damaged parts, just paranoid I guess.

Thanks in advance

If you have any reservation about an AIO or if, in your case, its hard to deal with loss of parts for any reason, an air cooler is a much better option. There are a few air coolers that can handle those toasty i7s and i9s, like the following models:
Deepcool AK620 - 56$
Noctua NH D15 - 120$
Be quiet! Dark rock Elite - 100$
Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE - 36$
Personally, I would choose the Be quiet cooler, if available. Here is a review that charts the performance of all the coolers mentioned.

AIO coolers rarely have uncontrolled leaks.
Yes,, if it happens, it is disastrous.
They, will, in time get air into the cooling tubes and the mechanical pump can fail.
Plan on replacing in perhaps 5 years.

A better reason for a good air cooler is that air will do the cooling that you need.

Core i9-13900K Cooling Guide: Testing Intel's Flagship With Budget Air and Big AIOs

The Core i9-13900K can push even the most capable liquid coolers to their limits, but you don’t lose that much performance if you go with budget-priced air cooling.

Thank you very much for your help! Would you recommend any air coolers which are great and can also be a possible candidate for overclocking?

I use a noctua nh-D15s for my 14900K.
