Are CPU self-contained cooling system REALLY sealed?

Because if a minute amt. leaks daily, then I don't want to be the 1 who sniff that chemical thru the air in a prolong way.

The other question is, what are the drawback using self-contain CPU water cooler?

AS I notice the max. fan noise is 36 dB.

and the concern of pump failure after 2 year

beside that, what other concern should there be?

P.S. as long as they are compatible w/ socket 2011, does it matter if it's a Xeon CPU? As those website never explicitly states that it supports Xeon
 
I think you've already been "sniff" too many of the "chemicals." Time to switch back to air cooling before you lose all your brain cells. ;)

A lot of people's H50s are still going and that's been more than 2 years. Failure is always a risk with anything.

Though I can't attest to AIO support for Xeon CPU for whatever product website (you don't explicitly say which one) there should be information on what the max TDP they recommend using with the AIO.

Sorry, incoherent OP is incoherent. I did my best to respond :)
 
I am thinking of Xeon e5 series, 2609. But is there any complaint elsewhere that there is some sort of leak from any of these brands?
 
In a perfect world, they would be perfectly sealed and none of the contents would ever leak. However, nothing is ever perfect; as long as you don't see anything coming out or pooling up, you're going to be okay.

As for the Xeon compatibility, the cooler is designed around the specifications that Intel put out for the platform as a whole. As long as the CPU was designed for that socket, then it's part of and will be compatible with anything that's made for that platform.
 
i have passed from several AiO WC kit in several of my brothers machines... H70, H60, h80, h100i, h110. all never leaked but still had some problems, my frist h100i was damaged after a month (pump broken), and my brothers h80 was damaged after 7 months (broken button to control speeds). but no leaks in any kit.. however as any product with water involved it can leak.. i saw a friend that their custom WC had leak for a CPU fitting bagel and damaged his GPU.. that things happens.. U_U
 
I've owned a bunch of them and never had an issue, I have an original H50 still going strong since 2009. Of course a problem is possible, have you considered just using a small air cooler? E5 Xeons are not overclockable and run fairly cool to begin with. I won't lie, I water-cooled a pair of E5-2650's on an Asus D8 board but it was more just because I could than any real requirement of it.
 
So as per what Araxie said, what is worse than sealed is broken. The only thing good about water block is the lower temperature on the CPU. But the fan speed at max. is 36 dB. So there isn't a lot for me to gain, but a lot for me to lose. As I don't want to clean water out of a motherboard. So I'm now thinking that it's not worth it
