I have a full custom water loop currently, however maintenance is a pain and i dont overclock anything anymore so its total overkill.

Im looking at pulling it out when i change to a smaller case (corsair carbide) and using an all in one solution.

My question is, whats the best option? I was going to go for a NZXT Kraken, im not sure how safe these things are as years back when i first did custom water the early all in ones broke a lot and caused major issues for friends.

Are they all safe now? and is the Kraken a decent choice?

Cheers guys!

I've used Alphacool solutions, the Eisbaer kit which I've used to power 2 rads, CPU and GPU block which it just about handles- downside is that's its mainly aimed to attract OEM to the product so is a bit loud, doesn't look the best but for its price you can't complain.
bequiet Silent loop is based around the same pump but a better housing and is silent ! rad is 11/12 FPI compared to the Eisbaer at 13 FPI so would recommend getting the 360 version with any CPU personally .
Both use the same mounting system that is a bit of a pain but I find masking tape at the back of the board a great help lol
 
Im thinking of upgrading my Noctua CPU Cooler for a AIO water cooling solution, would this be a complete waste of cash or are the AIO much better at cooling than a high grade Heatsink/Fan cooler from Noctua?

Pretty much a downgrade. Louder, less reliable and more risky. Stick with what you have.
