Hi, so i have only air cooled but I've overlocked my cpu and I've noticed that i should probably get a water cooler so i was wondering in peoples honest opinion what is the best all in one water cooler out there. I am personally not experienced enough to do custom, so i need an all in one. thanks!

Hmm, I'm thinking of H100i. It's cheaper than H110 but still get job done.

The best currently would be a 360mm radiator AiO, such as the Kelvin S36 or one fo the coolermaster ones

But a 280mm radiator will be quieter and possibly fit better in your case while performing close to the 360mm ones

The H110iGT or kraken X61 are the top two choices

It seems the consenus here is don't custom water cool unless you are a heavy overclocker, the best choice is an AIO liquid cooler espically if you aren't cooling GPUs. Custom water cooling costs a lot, has a danger potential for your system if it spills and is only slighty better if not on par with an AIO. I used to use an H110 with noctua fans and it was really quiet and had my FX8320 at 4.4ghz within comfortable tempratures. I find the H110i to be a bit loud due to fin density and only being able to use 120mm fans, and anything with only a single fan radiator needs fan speed turned up to make it work as well as a good air tower cooler. Experience: I own a H55, H60, H80i, H110 and H100i.
