AIO Help

Hey,

 

just wondering if there are any 120mm All in One Water coolers that are quiet. I have seen a lot of videos that have put me off some coolers.

 

If you have no recommendations what are some decent air coolers?

 

Thanks in advance.

Quiet is relative, AIO's would be loud to some (me) and quiet to others.

 

Most 120mm AIO's aren't worth buying. The lowest 120mm AIO I would consider is an h80i. 

 

For the cost of the AIO and a fan (which you WILL need to buy if you want anything quiet) you can almost always get a better air cooler that comes with non-sucky fans.

Is the h80i loud?

And are there any AIO's that your would recommend. 240mm?

The Corsair H80i is pretty good, but I would recommend an H100i (240mm) or that one that Glacier 240L that Linus seemed to like (obviously 240mm).

Like I said, it could be quiet to you, I have no idea. I had an h60 a long time ago and I thought it was loud. The fan that comes with it is certainly loud. Nothing is quieter than air though.

 

Most 240mm AIO's are within a few degrees difference, the two that are the top shelf though are the h100i and the h220/Glacier 240.

Relative to 'quiet' air coolers, no aio's are quiet without changing out their fans.

I was wondering if there is a way to keep the optical drive bay in the pc with the h100i as well?

I would have to see a picture of the inside (in your config) to know, honestly.

I have decided against the water cooler due to all the struggle. What would be your recommendation for a Decently quiet air cooler. Please not a noctua due to colour scheme. Would a hyper 212 evo be a good choice?

That for cheap, or a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 (I think it's one of those, it is the best of the best that they make though).

Just get a nh-d15 and give me the fans. You don't really need active cooling for low-end amd cpu's.
