Off-brand coolers

[scojer]

Anyone have any experience with coolers that from from those sites like deal extreme, wish, alibaba, etc?

If so, what are your thoughts?

If not, Kyle, let's review some!

I have not. I would expect them to cool as adequate as any AIO of the same size, within a few degrees. Where my concern lies is how long it might last and what warranty options do you have if it ends up leaking all over your system in 3 days.

That's my concern too, which is why I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with them.

I've bought stuff from DX before, some I still have, other items have not lasted that long.

I would question the longevity as well. Copper base + aluminum rad or algae-like buildup internally could be a problem if they have not formulated their liquid coolant (Hope it is not just distilled water in there!)
