    Running water cooling AIO 24/7/365?

    Does anyone here run an AIO or other liquid cooled CPU cooling solution 24/7/365 / on a server? Do you feel comfortable with possible failures? Should I be worried about pump failures? Pump failures causing leaks?

    Having reservations on a second hand cooling system on a PC. So far it's pretty good, keeps things nice and cool but I've never had long term experience with 24/7/365 operation of water cooling, AIO or not. Might have to downgrade to an air cooled system for peace of mind?

    they dont leak,
    the failure modes are pump dying and liquid slowly being replaced by air causing air-traps.

    the liquid thing takes several years,
    the pump failure is no different to a fan failure, the pump output's a tacho signal to the motherboard.
    so the system will detect the failure and shutdown.
