one reason i like the fact the mount is incl, it shows whos using an Asetek design for their AIO and allows me to steer around them. i dont expect them to be on the level of EK, but know issues with leaks/pumps failing make me rather look for non-asetek based LC (like alphacool/EK etc).

Im worried about the lifespan of Fractal Design coolers.. Edit: I guess they should be as durable as all Asetek coolers? Edit 2: Some buyers say the pump dies after 1-2 years.

should not be a problem on the "newer" design (larger hose). get one from corsair, since they cover all parts (getting damaged) if it fails within 5y.
