Need help with AIO

[BabyYoda]

Hello everyone !

I have a i5-8400 and i wanted to get another cooler for it over the stock one because of aesthetics and little bit better performance. Since my case is small ( HP OMEN Obelisk 875 series ) i cannot fit like a cryorig h7 so i looked into a AIO 120mm because it looks sick and that fits without any worries, i know it is overkill for a locked CPU but whatever. I found some like: Corsair Hydro Series H45 and Master MasterLiquid 120. Any comments in witch one is better or worth it , and off course open to other AIO suggestions.

Thanks in advance !!

You don't need an AIO for this CPU, CM Hyper 212 Black or Arctic eSports 34 would be more than enough. But choosing between those two AIOs (or any other 120\140mm ones really) just get the cheapest one from a brand with good warranty (Corsair, NZXT, CM).

Thanks for the reply! Yeah i know i would be good with a cheap air one but even those really dont fit my case, it is a shame. Well in that case the Corsair H45 is the cheapest

This. Really no reason for it at all. If you can fit a hype 212 evo in there, get that. They are like 30 bucks american, and are PLENTY good enough. I ran my 8700k @ 5 ghz on one and it didn't get over 87c. Not saying that is "cool", but a 5 ghz 8700k will put out tons more heat than an i5 locked chip.

Yeah bro i would really like that but it doesnt fit! And the H45 is at 50 Euros now so i think is my best solution over buying a cheaper( and enough) air cooler but having to buy a new case aswell.

If you are buying in Euros, just buy the cooler from amazon?
