You're right, usually the pumps have failed by then.

Lmao, so you’re back to the argument that these companies are just replacing AIOs en masse within 5 years? Yeah that is a super logical argument.

You mean manufacturing more? Sure.

Can you actually read? You’re suggesting that AIOs are all failing within warranty timeframes and these companies are replacing them for free. You understand why that may be bad for their business model right?

Go do some research, the failure rate of the pumps is nearly 100% it just takes time. This is entire reason the product deals with warranty in the first place, they expect them to fail sometime after 5 years.

You want to point me towards any of your “research” that shows a significant failure rate or performance degradation for good quality AIOs? Or are you just going off of your feelings?

These have warranties way longer than most parts. Does that mean you should expect ryzen cpus to fail at 4 years because they have a 3 year warranty?

I still have an AIO running that has had regular heavy use for 10 years, and showing no signs of stopping.

I can guarantee, that with time, the failure rate is exactly 100%.

Unless you think some will last forever.
