Oh really? No problems?

So are brands like Corsair, EVGA, and Thermaltake, in regards to AIO's, generally more reliable than brands like Enermax and deepcool who don't buy Asetek? I totally agree with you, I think the majority of people who buy AIO's have no problems with them, but you often times don't hear about people's positive experiences on them, only the negative ones. At least some of the time.

One of the main reasons that I wanted to get an AIO, is because I thought I read that the Lian-Li dynamic was best for water cooling. But if an air CPU cooler would work just as well, I am open to that option.

I mean I am not in the business of overclocking myself. So I am right now in a limbo of what cooler I should get. I like the AIO coolers and was originally looking at ones like the Fractal Design - Celsius and the Corsair Hydro Series H100i PRO. But I also am looking at air coolers such as the be quiet! PURE ROCK SLIM CPU Cooler but I am not sure if air coolers are the best for the Lian-Li dynamic case. So I am sort of stuck decided on what cooler to use.

Out of curiosity if you used a 240mm AIO for the O11 dynamic how did you configure your case fans? Same for a 360mm. I was talking with someone, and they suggested if I used a 240mm to put it at the top as an exhaust, then 2 120mm fans on both the side and the bottom as intake.

The NH-D15 and the bequit! Dark Rock Pro 4 from what I can tell, (based on the specs of the case) cannot fit inside the Lian-Li dynamic. They may fit the in the Lian-Li air version I am not completely sure. Thanks for the information and the article, I will take a read.

Hello; So I just ordered the DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm CAPTAIN 240EX and just realized that there may be problems with the cooler tubes. There have been many reviews that said that their tubes on their cooler broke and spilled the liquid inside of their system. So I am a little worried about using that AIO. So I am planning on returning it and getting a better quality one. Any thoughts for good quality 250mm AIO cooler? I was looking at the Corsair Hydro Series H100i https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16835181141?Item=N82E16835181141&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-CAN&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-CAN&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3a%2f%2fca.pcpartpicker.com%2fproduct%2fhmBTwP%2fcorsair-h100i-pro-750-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060033-ww&ranMID=44589&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-OMWw17O15mjCBqZ5DJMJPQ. I have had Corsair AIO cooler for 2 years now in my older build and have had no problems with it. Thanks for your suggestions and help!

I mean I really like the Lian-li case, I just have to figure some cooling stuff out.

Good to know. Thanks for all of your help! Have a good night.

I could just cut a little opening in the side so it would fit. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I am going to use the stock cooler and see what cooler would work best.

the case dimension is 450mm x 450mm x 275mm and on the website, it says CPU coolers ≤155mm

PCPartPicker says there are no compatibility issues with the SSD, and the board has 2 M.2 Slots ? And both those coolers do not fit with the case. Lol. Here is an image of all Noctua air CPU coolers that work with my case/build https://ibb.co/vqpyNr4

Sadly, it doesn't fit inside a Lian-li case, according to PCPartPicker.

Wow, that's fast. The only issue is that they go for in Canada at least $300.00 or more, so they are quite an investment.

Yeah, I took a look at the HD-D15, that's one big cooler. Noticeably faster speeds for NVE SSD's compared to SATA ones?

Scratch that, it's actually not compatible with the Lian-Li case.

I really like Noctua. I have their fans on my old system and they are great. So the NH-D15 seems like a good way to go, plus seems like a generally liked cooler.

No real particular reason in terms of the SSD, smaller form factor I assume. A few people mentioned the X-470, but I don't know about in the states but in Canada, it is cheaper, but not that much cheaper to do get crazy about. I just liked the new board, even though I costs a bit more.

Yeah, I agree. Oversight on my part. Do you have any favorite air coolers?

Hi all! So I am currently putting together a new PC. For the CPU cooler, I ordered the DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm CAPTAIN 240EX RGB AIO CPU cooler. To my dismay, I realized that many of the reviews were customers that had their cooler tubes break and spill inside their PC. I could use this AIO cooler and have no problems, but I feel like the tubes breaking is an issue that shouldn't be ignored. I have had the CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H75 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler for 2 years now in my old build and have had zero problems with it. I am not sure if I should return the DeepCool cooler and get a better quality one, or return it and get an air cooler. I feel like I am leaning towards the air CPU cooling, and hence why I am in the "Air cooling" section. So if you guys have any thoughts about all of this and any suggestions for CPU air coolers let me know!

I have had my Corsair - H80i v2 for 2 years now, and I have had zero issues with it. Still running, still cooling. But with this DeepCool AIO, especially on my new build, I am having second thoughts on using it. Like I would be very disappointed if I installed the AIO and a week later it leaked all over my new PC. That would suck. I purchased the deepcool on sale for $124.99 reg $164.99. So it would suck if I didn't use it, but not the end of the world. And as I said, I would rather not use a $124.99 cooler that has been known to leak and rather spend another $100.00 an get an air cooler or a better brand of AIO.

Hi all! So I just ordered parts to build my new PC, and chose to go with the Deepcool - CAPTAIN 240EX RGB AIO CPU cooler. Though just recently I was reading some of the reviews that said that the tubing broke and the liquid came out and damged their PC. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I get another cooler? Thanks for your input!

Seems easy enough! Thanks for your help!

Hi all! So I was planning on installing a 1TB HDD drive as a secondary drive for files, such as large images and such. My main drive is a Samsung EVO 1TB SSD. I was wondering how does that work for installation? Is it just plug play? Thanks for your help!

SSD sounds like a good move. Your case suggestion seems pretty decent, I will have to mull over what I am going to use for a case now. Well, thanks for your help, in regards to the GPU and my build. It would be really nice to put my build together, it would suck to wait 1 month or so, for a better cooling system on the XT.
