Hello, 

In the next weeks i'm thinking in change my case, for an Cooler Master H500P white mesh, and for this reason I'm thinking in change my AIO (H100i v2) for a triple fan AIO, and the question is the next, it's a worth-it change or maybe wait for an a custom water cooling? 

 

Thank's !

Depends completely on your CPU, but the answer is almost certainly going to be no, it won't be worth the money. The temp difference would be up to you, since you also didn't provide the current load temperatures of your CPU lol.

True,

 

Actually I have an a Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8Ghz whit 1.2v, the maximum temperature of this is around 51º whit OCCT during 30 minutes, on gaming the temperatures oscillate between 35 and 45º, on idle is going to 27º. 

 

The room temperature is around 19º C in the actually (Winter in spain).

Depends what you want out of changing the cooler then.. better looks? That's up to you. Better performance? Can't really get much better than what you're doing right now.

The truth about it is I want to improve the performance and the aesthetics. but in fact is I am not sure about the change, and I want opinions for decide about need a change or is a simple whim.

You aren't really going to notice any performance bump going with a better cooler. Your CPU might run a bit cooler, but you're so far from any kind of thermal junction that it just doesn't make any sense if you ask me.

Just get some RGB fans if you want aesthetics. The cooler you have is already more than enough for your CPU.
