Yeah no. before i get another item with asetek (based) pump, it has to cover all parts in my pc for 5y in case of defect.
Not even talking about the noise my gpu pump makes at idle, thanks to low quality/"bad" designed product that cant be throttled or risk the pump to stop.

lol.
i only say this because others CAN make a decent pump, so this is not a "we need rocket scientists" problem.
My alphacool pump (cpu can run at 30% of its max rpm, without any problems.
And its not even something like a D5.
Outside that pumps based on their design have higher fail rate, one reason i like to use Corsair on rigs not for me,
as they cover all pc parts for 5y, if the aio dies etc and takes out other things.

Does not look very "externally".
It is basically 1 card with 2 blowers 😀

The eisbar i have is an aio, except like a few others (arctic cooling) their pumps aren't based on asetek/others,
but in-house designs.
And as you can see, it does NOT cost more, as 110$ (or around that) is a common price for all other aio as well.

My problem with the gpu aio is that your getting charged +100$ for what is essentially a hydro 60i (or equivalent),
and something never designed/optimized to run on a gpu (chip).
And my rig is inaudible at low load making it stand out more, but even when i game and the fans ramp up,
the high pitch is still there.
And when you have tinnitus, a felt pad unfortunately doesn't cut it (i tried a lot of things).
