Are AIO liquid coolers worth it?
Why should you use an AIO cooler? Just as a swimming pool cools you down quicker than a fan, AIO coolers are much better at chilling CPUs than air. This allows you to get the most out of more powerful components because you can overclock your processor to make it faster without temperatures rising too high.
How reliable are AIO water coolers?
There have been reports of leaking from AIO coolers but very rare. Most leakages come from Open loop builds when not done correctly. Off-course this will never happen with an AIR cooler so if it concerns you that much then stick with AIR cooling.

It depends! On MAINGEAR PCs with “Closed Loop” liquid coolers there is zero maintenance required, and the system will never need refilling or flushing.

Do you need to maintain AIO cooler?
The only part you have to maintain in an AIO, is the radiator and fans. This is because a lot of dust can get stuck inside or inbetween the radiator and the fans. You don’t need to maintain the pump, or the liquid- it’s closed and cannot be opened.
