I would like a 360mm AIO for my 9900k that will work with aura sync or an adapter that will allow an aio to work with aura sync. I know that there is the Asus ROG RYUJIN 360 but its not available...

Honestly, I'd just buy the cheapest 360mm AIO you can find, and get some fans that you know work with aura sync. They'll almost certainly be better fans, and make things much easier. And it seems like your budget is okay to do that (Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong about that)

yeah... fun

 

you probably won't get far with overclocking I'm afraid, asus kinda cheaped out on the vrms with the hero, code and formula

 

doesn't corsair aios work with aura? it's both asetek, so performance is about the same

probably a aorus elite/pro/ultra/master

 

those use a better 12 phase.

 

there do seem to be some ways to run aura synced with icue

i ended up canceling the asus mobo and ordered the GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS Ultra instead. i just remembered that the CPU power is different. I have an HX850i How should I power the 8+4 pin CPU?

Plug an 8 pin and a 4 pin from your PSU into the mobo. HX850i should have two CPU outs, usually both 4+4 so you can do a full 8+8, 8+4, 8, or 4.

you could use the 4 pin if you have the connection, but as you're not using ln2 on your chip, you probably won't notice the difference and it'll boot without the 4 pin
