EVGA AIO Coolers

[AYDANN6ix9ine]

So brands like Corsair, Thermaltake, Fractal Design, Deepcool, etc. I know for liquid coolers. But what about EVGA, which is more known for PSU and Graphics Cards (Maybe things like X299 Motherboards but meh) but also have AIO coolers. How do these coolers perform relative to competition?, specifically the EVGA CLC 240 and CLC 280 AIO coolers.

The CLC 280 is great. @Firewrath9 uses one for is 8600k. Obviously the fans aren't too good, but pretty much any AIO fan that comes with it is pretty ok (excluding the Corsair platinum RGB stuff).

Bruv the X299 Dark from EVGA is a fucking champ of a motherboard

Yup i can personally attest to both EVGA's PSU's, GPU's, AIO's and Motherboards.

The z370 FTW has probably the best VRMs and vrm heatsink for its price (i got it at ~130$ new), and has the best overclocking features in that price range.

The z390 FTW/classy will probably reflect the same, but there are more expensive.

The x299 micro has great VRMs for a matx motherboard, the X299 FTW K is just a regular more overclocking based board, and the Dark is the hands down best x299 overclocking board.

 

The CLC 280 is great, its cheaper than the competing coolers by 10-15$, has RGB, and in case anything fails, EVGA is renowned for their great warranty service. (My 1070 SC og didn't work, within 2 weeks, I got a 1070 SC2) gets the same temps at the same noise levels as the expensive x62 kraken, and the H115i.

 

the CLC 240 is a little less value, becuase there are many cheaper 240mm aios.

I got my CLC 280 for $75 on black friday, a crazy steal IMO. I saw that you pushed your voltages ~semi-high to get 5ghz even with a delid. Obviously I have pretty much any chance to get a bad 9700k or a good one, but in general, you think the CLC 280 will be enough for the 9700k? I have a fantastic board for all this (aorus pro z390), so that won't matter.

 

I was considering delidding, but I'm not sure since the 9700k is soldered.
