I'm thinking about buying a 4-5 year old used sperg chariot ~gaming workstation~ to use as a home server and it comes with a corsair H60. What's the life expectency on those things? I don't know if it's been run 24/7 or not but my gut tells me surely that surely the pump or seals or tubes are on the way out and I should replace it with a big cheap heatpipe monstrosity before i stick it in a closet and expect it to run 24/7 indefinitely

so for my new build im thinking of doing water cooling for aesthetic/silence purposes, however i notice every build i see they don't have a cd/dvd drive in their system.

It's just that nobody uses optical media anymore so If you don't have some specific use case that requires it (like watching blurays) you might as well just keep a usb one in a drawer somewhere for emergencies
