Next time you shop for an AIO, don’t just ask: “How cool is it new?” Ask: “How does it run after 4,000 hours?”
involves running AIOs on test benches for hundreds (sometimes thousands) of hours, measuring coolant temperatures, pump speeds, and thermal resistance (Rth) at regular intervals. aio runtimes computerbase
But what does it actually mean? Is it just a fancy way of saying “how long the pump lasts”? Not exactly. Next time you shop for an AIO, don’t
That’s the ComputerBase difference. Have you noticed your AIO temperatures creeping up over time? Check your pump RPM and coolant temps—then let us know in the comments. measuring coolant temperatures
