Yes quite a few models from different companies do that.

Those AIO pumps are so tiny. How can they survive more than a few years of usage without starting to make a lot of rattling noise?
I once had a borrowed computer with NZXT AIO cooling and it sounded like the pump will die very soon. Never looked at the pump but the sound was annoying.
When I decide to build a watercooled system, I will be using custom loops only. Those AIOs looks so fragile.

On an AIO/CLC it's not the pumps to worry about, but permeation of the water through the hoses over time.Those AIO pumps are so tiny. How can they survive more than a few years of usage without starting to make a lot of rattling noise?

There is one AIO that is unofficially refillable I saw on Gamers Nexus once(for TR4 sockets): Refilling an AIO with New Fluid - Thermal Test Results | GamersNexus - Gaming PC Builds Hardware Benchmarks
Also this one by alpacool: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/new-p...-420-cpu-black

Hi,
They survive via a 5 year warranty

This particular model looks to be very rugid, I love the fin design on the radiator, less space for dust to collect and more room for air to flow through.

The fans ? Well we all know what to do with them
Now if we could just get Intel to stop using Toothpaste for TIM

IDK. I haven't experience with CM water coolers, only a number of their air coolers. They look good on paper, are gimmicky (vapor chambers on air coolers, the square fins here?), but ultimately don't perform all that great. But maybe the water is different. Just my biased OP.
I do like the CM mechanical keyboard I have had for some time now though.

I have CM Nepton 140 XL for 4 years now, One fan lost a bearing but they sent me 2 new ones for free. It's very robust but pump is running at 7100RPM while on their newer models runs at about 2000RPM. I't's single 140mm radiator but double thickness, also has refill vent but it's sealed. It's cooling my R7 2700x fine and was cooling my FX 6350 and FX 8350 processors at near 5 GHz. They were pushing 180W and 210W of TDP respectively.
I prefer simple connections were pump is controlled by AiO_Pump or W_Pump on MB over those unnecessary complicated Sensor + USB controllers.

I just tried the WOT benchmark in 4K(you need to go into settings and adjust the slider) using my 24/7 settings, like balanced power and quiet fan curves.
Holy cow does this new ENCORE engine produce good graphics, specially fluid and particle.
It ran at 4K and 75-81 FPS the whole run, no OC on card, and CPU only at 4.7GHz.
It also automatically makes a results screenshot located at C:\Games\World_of_Tanks_enCore\screenshots
for uploading.

Hope you enjoy that H115i Platinum @OldMike, wouldn't mind one myself. I'd probably watch out for cheaper CLC, Corsair had a bad track record with some models but my H110i has been running like a champ now for some time. I fell victim to to one or two faulty pumps and also a line blockage on one occasion.

What's the point of that? No matter how you turn it around, it would not fit properly. That design decision makes no sense to me, especially if the tubes are very near the bottom/copperplate.
