Lifespan of cooler

[mrmiller]

Hey guys

I'm buying closed-loop liquid for 2700x and his name is Antec Mercury 360 RGB
and I'm planning to do some push-pull configuration with it.

but I saw that his lifespan is 40000 hours = 4.5 years
what happens after that? the cooler just die or something like that?
my main use is gaming and light edit videos
I'm looking for peace of mind for 6 years or something like that

Anything with moving parts will fail in time.
That will be the pump assembly on a liquid cooler.

If you want peace of mind and equally good cooling, buy a top end air cooler like the noctua NH-D15s.
It will be cheaper, quieter and will not leak.

personally, big air every time, much less to go wrong, and only 1 failure mode that is catastrophic (falling off). AIO's have at least 3 ways to fail that are not very detectable and quite bad in terms of outcome.

sound reasonable...
what do you think about Arctic Cooling Freezer 33 TR Red or Noctua NH-D15SE-AM4?
I don't want it to block any RAM

I never tried pump liquid cooler before but I saw everyone nowadays using these so I want to try that too

The Noctua NH-D15SE-AM4 is an outstanding cooler.
It will clear 32mm ram in dual fan mode and 65mm ram in single fan mode.
Even single fan mode, the Noctua NH-D15SE-AM4 will be much superior to the ac33 which has only a 120mm fan.
Your case will need 161mm available in height.

Fancy ram heat spreaders are all about marketing. Ram in a pc actually needs no heat spreaders at all unless you are seeking overclocking records.
Ram vendors found that they can charge more for fancy spreaders and RGB that add no performance function at all.

As a caveat, not all DDR4 ram will for certain work on your motherboard.
Best to pick a ram kit that is on the motherboard ram supported qvl list or is explicitly supported by the ram vendor for your motherboard.

sound great! so my ram is DDR 4 16G (8GX2) 3200 CL16 1.35V T-Force Night Hawk Red Black HS Team
-
dimensions 146.4(L) x 52(W) x 8.6(H)mm
-
my motherboard is -Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE
-
will it fit? I really want a dual fan
-
one guy at Amazon told me this

but I'm not sure about my RAM
