I've been out the cooling game for a while. I personally use the Kraken X62 for the aesthetics, but the cooling isn't nothing to write home about. (To be honest, the software NZXT use is kinda crap)

 

Noctua has a very good track record with their air coolers. 

 

Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro has always been one of my personal favourites in terms of air cooling (looks pretty good too) and I think their recent V4 has a very easy mounting system. (Or at least easier compared to the V3)

 

Corsair gets a good rep from water cooling with their hydro series. 

 

Point is, aesthetics is what I'd mainly focus on, you'll get about the same cooling +- 2C as long as you go reputable.

I'm don't want to go sub zero cus of the hassle.

Not that anyone even goes subzero at all for their everyday use OC, because you need a high powered chiller for that

What's the best proformance air cooler or AIO? 

Got a budget?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Under $220(US). So basically no. 

hard to argue with either the dark rock pro 4 or NH-D15

I am using a DarkRock 4 (not even pro) to cool my 2600 @ 4.1 Ghz OC. 
Temps are never exceeding the 60°C mark in daily use(gaming+streaming). Only when i do benchmarks i might get to 65°C :D  ( Roomtemp. in summer 35+°C) 
And my case is a 9 year old almost completely closed one with 1 fan in and 1 out. :'D 

So i can recommend it haha. Doing a hell of a job.
