I switched completely from AIO to Air Coolers, and never going back.
AIOs are needlessly expensive considering they have a limited life-span before it springs a leak, pump failure, or coolant loses buffering capacity.
Air Coolers are significantly cheaper, and if you manage to buy a premium cooler, you'll achieve the same or better thermals. The only possibility of failure are the fans, which can easily be replaced. Otherwise, they'll last essentially forever.
The downside is that they're bulky as hell, and ugly. There's some black or white editions that look nice.
I've recently in the past few years gone down the rabbit hole of SFF builds, and thus started looking at AIOs again, but decided low profile air coolers with high flow case is still better than AIO.
This does seem like a good deal though for a 280mm rad.

$50 bucks for an 280mm asetek AIO seems pretty good. Honestly i just want it for the radiator/pump to use on a NZXT kraken g12. I'll try the fans and RGB out to see if it can work without actually connecting the hub to an actual USB header. I know I probably won't get control over fanspeed/rgb but it's worth a try. The pump just connects to a fan header so at the very least you'll get 280mm radiator+pump from asetek.
According to Thermaltake website all AIO's come with a 3 year warranty.
Price is tempting but I have read so many stories of liquid coolers leaking and ruining motherboards that keeps me away even though I want one. Thoughts on if those incidents are more of exceptions and these are now reliable these days?

I do the opposite. I switched all my comps from air to aio and it's been a blessing. Little to no noticeable noise, higher OC and lowered temp.

I switched from air to water cooled a couple of years back and loved that my PC was silent, even while gaming. Then I moved into an SFF case that doesn't have room for water cooling and I can only game while wearing headphones. At this point I'm looking at switching into a different SFF case that has room for some water cooling so I can get my sanity back without giving up my desk.
All that said, if you have a tower-type case that has room, a large Noctua cooler like the NH-D15 will cool as well as most AIOs, and not be very loud at all if you have decent airflow. It's the GPU cooling that kills it.
damn. a 280mm radiator for 50 bux? that's really good stuff. wonder what the reviews sa-
a review on amazon from 2018, so maybe they've sussed it out since then, or maybe the price is justified for the level of quality.
personally i think it's a decent gamble for 50 bucks and free returns.
I have their full blown Pacific cooler setup and it's probably the best water kit I've ever used. May favorite mode with the RGB lights is having it green for cool, yellow if it gets warm, and red if it overheats (never got to red yet ). My RTX 3080 and Intel i5-10600K overclock like a beast!
