AIOs ???

[Klips_USA]

Never bought an AIO before.

 

I only heard that Corsair makes some decent ones, but is there other AIO manufactureres that I should look at?

 

Can someone explain why Corsair has so many at each size? They don't seem to be that different from each other.

Corsair, NZXT, Cooler Master, Asus and Deepcool are the largest RGB AIO players out there. EVGA, Fractal and be quiet decided to forego the bells and whistles by using as little LEDs as possible

 

Corsair may seem to have a ton of AIOs, but those of the same size are usually of different generations

How can I tell which is the newer generation ones???

I use a cooler master 120mm on a r5 2600x. No issues.

Just in case it matters, I need this for an AMD 3900X CPU.

Corsair? The more RGB LEDs it has, the newer it is. They aren't all that different in performance compared to those of the same size anyway

Assuming you're in US, i'd just recommend EVGA CLC 280 or 360 (if you can fit them in your case), almost all AIO manufacturers use Asetek hardware anyway and generally differ only with fans, so just go for reasonably cheapest option. If you're in EU, you can look at Eisbaer AIOs, IIRC they make their own and they're pretty good quality and performance wise (at least comparable to Asetek if not better). Also, EKWB (really big custom-loop parts manufacturer) released their take at AIOs recently, it's currently in pre-order (starts shipping at Feb 28th), but i'm really reluctant to recommend them without any reviews.
