Corsair H60 vs H100i v2

[DailyRoutine]

So, I'm looking into getting a new cooler. I'm thinking about either the H60 or the H100i V2 unless anyone can point me to a better deal. I want something that performs well enough to overclock and looks good in my case. I really don't want to spend more than the $110 of the H100i, but I will go up to $120 if someone can find me a triple fan radiator AIO. I want to go with AIO liquid coolers mainly for looks. My Ryzen 3 1300x at idle sits around 35-40°C. 

 

Here my specs. 

Ryzen 3 1300x 

MSI B350 Gaming Plus 

8GB ddr4 2400mhz

ASUS DUAL GTX 1050TI 4gb 

Corsair Cx550m 

Thermaltake Core P3 Snow case

 

I would love to find a triple radiator, but they seem to be out of my price range. 

Any tips help. Thanks!!

The H60 is a single fan radiator, it should perform well enough for your system though. If you're looking for size, go with the 100 series (although,I personally would grab the h110iv2)

Honestly the stock wraith cooler should do just fine, even with decent overclocks. That being said, the H100 would do perfectly fine. If your just cooling the 1300x you dont need some crazy huge triple rad cooler. Even the R7's do fine on dual rad, unless you like the look of a giant cooler.

If big is what you want:

If it doesnt matter how big it is, go with the corsair.

A 360mm AIO under 120$:

I'd go for the Fractal Design one, though to be fair, you don't need that performance so I'd just get the cheapest 240mm AIO solely for the looks as it's only 65$: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/z9Z2FT/cooler-master-masterliquid-240-667-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-mlx-d24m-a20pw-r1

Either an H60 or H100i V2 will work perfectly fine with your Ryzen build.  Benefits of going with the H100i V2 would be larger cooling capacity and Corsair Link compatible.  With the H100i V2 you can adjust fan speed, monitor temps of the pump, and create your own custom fan curve to fit your preference.  If you have any questions about either one, let me know.

Seems pointles using any watercooler for a ryzen 3.

Just want to get something that looks cool and will keep it cool when I upgrade it later down the road. I've went with a 360 Thermaltake Water 3.0 cooler so I have lots of wiggle room later. Came with an Lga1151 socket bracket as well in case I want to change platforms. Had to buy the am4 bracket separately, but not complaining. Works great. But I really just wanted one to look cool ?

I went with the Thermaltake water 3.0 360mm. Thanks man! Looks great and gives plenty of wiggle room for later! Paid extra for Dat one day shipping too. Just have one question if you know a lot about this cooler; I plugged all the three fans into the Same header (CPU cooler) but for some reason, when I turn it on, all the fans won't spin up until I give them a litter tap. Sometimes one will on its own but never all 3. Why is that?

Most likely the CPU cooler header isn't fit for connecting three fans so they don't get enough power to spin by themselves. I suggest you plug them in in a different way because leaving it like this may result in your CPU header actually frying Isn't there another way to connect the fans? What does the manual that came with the cooler say about connecting the fans?

As my boss likes to say to us: "RTFMF!" (Read the f*cking manual first)

The manual actually said to plug the 3 fans into the cpu cooler (it came with a cable to connect all 3 cables to one) and it said to plug the pump into system fan 1 but, my motherboard has a pump header on it. Should I plug it there? And should I split the 3 fans up into the system fan headers? ? I thought it seemed strange that it wanted all 3 headers in one.

To be fair it's hard for me to say, each AIO company does it a little differently so I suppose you have to try different configurations and see if the fans spin normally Though I'd definitely connect the pump to the dedicated pump header.

It generally doesn't make sense to get a 120mm AIO since you will get equal or better performance from an air cooler for half the price. If you want to get AIO then get at least a 240mm one.

I've got my cooler now. Thanks guys!!
