AiO for i7 9700k

Hello everyone 

 

I'm about to choose cooler for my new rig with i7 9700k. I use my computers a lot by many hours without break, I make 3D renders and play a lot. Also in my room is hot always, like 27-30 Celsius so I guess I need good cooling solution.  I have spent to much money on my rig already so I'm trying figure out if I need high end expensive AiO to run it safe. My options are:

- Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate (3X120Mm)

- Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R RGB 

- Corsair Hydro Series H110i EXTREME 

- Corsair Hydro Series H100i PRO RGB 

- Corsair Hydro Series H115i Pro

- NZXT Kraken X62

 

or it will be enough to go with cheaper ones like:

- Thermaltake Chłodzenie Wodne - Water 3.0 Extreme-S 

- Enermax Liqmax Ii 240

- Cryorig A40

- DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Captain 240EX RGB

 

and yes, I want overclock but nothing extreme. Price does matter to me, also silence and mounting difficulty. 

 

Thanks for your help up front!

Then how about an air cooler like a Dark Rock Pro 4?

I personally use the Corsair 115i Pro and my stepson uses the Kraken x62.  I am on a R7 2700 and he is on a R7 1700.  Both of these work pretty well.  

Easy install as well.  I idle at about 30c and about 62- 65C under full load at 3.8ghz.

Dark Rock Pro 4 is pain to mount. I'm disabled person and can't do it myself, I need more user friendly solution.

Thermalright LGM. Easy to mount, with performance rivaling 240mm AIOs.
