Best AIO CPU Cooler?

I've seen a lot of people say Swiftech, but they seem so big compared to others where it's just a radiator and fans. I've seen a lot of Corsair AIOs, are they good? Also when do I know if I need a double fan radiator or just a single fan one? Using a Intel i7 980.

Depends on what you define as best. Pure cooling power? Bang for buck? Silence? Longevity?

The Corsair H105 is great as well as the Kraken x61

 

Also if you will be doing overclocking then it is best to get a 240mm or 280mm radiator(double fan) that way it will help keep your temps down.

Yeah, I'm liking the look of the Corsair products. I'm just trying to decide between the single or dual fans. I was also really interested in Noctua CPU fans, but they just look so damn big!

Noctua makes the one of the best fans.

I hate to be not helpful but all of them lol. Sure I want to get a good deal, but it looks like all the high end ones are around $100 bucks. I obviously want it to last a while, and would be great if it was quiet. But honestly I don't think anything can be louder than the one I have now lol!

 

But most of all, I want it to have great performance and be maintenance free. Corsair's claim to be maintenance free.

So I've heard, but they are so big! Although having a radiator on top with 2 fans is big, it's not sticking out into the middle of my case. I've gathered through research/recommendations that Noctua is the best they come for CPU fans. I've been using a liquid cooling system with radiator. Part of the reason I want to rid of it is because of maintenance, & to get rid of the reservoir space. That's why I like the corsair AIOs because they seem space efficient.

Wow, the top of the line Corsair CPU cooler is on sale on Amazon, I think I'm going to have to snatch this one up.

Anything I should know before purchase? Will this be a good pick up?

I would say the Swiftech H320 is the best in terms of pure cooling power just because its a triple rad. And I've only heard good things about the H240-X. The Corsair ones are really good though too, but the stock fans on them are good, but not great. I really like Noctua NF-F12s for radiator fans.

I meant to put "one of the best" but, sometimes when I am typing I tend to leave words out on accident.

 

However I don't understand why you have to get so angry about that. :mellow:

So I'm replacing my CPU cooler this week, I was looking at this one:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B009ZN2NH6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415001219&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+h100i

 

The cooler a step above it I think is too big for my case. Anyways I read some of the 1 start reviews and there were some stories of it leaking in their system....has anyone heard bad things about Corsair? I really like the idea of liquid coolers but I may go with a Noctua after reading these reviews which saddens me...

No problem with swiftech aio, they are masters at water cooling and have some of the best performance.

Currently waiting on an RMA for my Swiftech H220-X. It was awesome while it worked(1week) and then the pump died.

Damn, first negative thing I have heard about them. Maybe I should just look into an air filter. Having your pump die is one thing, having liquid spill on your PC is another. Both are scary.

That's what initially kept me away from water cooling, but I took the plunge and got an AIO anyway. My First one (H220)  suffered from a noisy pump after about 6 months of use, so I just recently got a Corsair H105 and it's performing flawlessly.

 

Prior to both I had (still have) an NHD14 and it's indeed a beast air cooler.

Is it loud? How great is the cooling? I'm just worried about it taking up so much space...and god I just wish they had different coloring LOL. I know there are black ones now but I don't think any black ones come on a CPU cooler.
