Hey everyone! I've been using an i7 12700k with a Corsair H150i Elite Capellix AIO cooler, but it's starting to give me trouble with random pump failures, weird coolant temperature spikes, and air bubbles. Sometimes I get coolant temps shooting up to 50°C, which isn't great, and my fans sound like a vacuum cleaner. I'm thinking about replacing it and maybe experimenting with the old one later.
I'm considering the H150i Elite Capellix XT since I already have some LCD kits for it. I also thought about the Lian Li Hydro Shift 2, but I'm not sure how their software stacks up against Corsair's iCUE, which I'm somewhat used to. Plus, I haven't been able to find many reviews or comparisons for the Hydro Shift 2. Any advice would be appreciated!

You can't go wrong with the Arctic Liquid Freezer III. It's unbeatable in both price and performance! Definitely worth considering if you're looking for something reliable.
If you're okay with Corsair iCUE, you might want to check out their TITAN line of coolers. They perform really well, but just be aware they're a bit pricey. It's worth looking into!
Yeah, but with those, I’d lose my Capellix screen that I got super cheap! I don’t mind iCUE, but I wish it didn't forget to start with Windows 11 or occasionally freeze up on GPU temps.
I’ve built a few PCs with those and they are awesome! The only drawback for me is not being able to monitor coolant temp or control fans/pump through dedicated software.
