What AIO Cooler?

First of all 

Why do you exactly need a Maximus board 

32 gigs of RAM and an overpriced PSU and over 200 dollars worth of fans and a 2080ti? 

As for the aio 

A 240/280 should do but do also consider air coolers like the d15 or the dark rock pro 4. Though I would heavily suggest changing this list.

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

 

Phone: Pixel 3a (Purple-ish).

Probably, no.

Because then you would have to use both the Corsair Icue software, and the whatever nzxt one. Wouldn't be a pleasant software experience.

I would rather put the corsair fans on a dark rock pro 4 or something.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

you're paying quite a bit for a PSU that ain't even worth half of the listed price

It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt,

but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, 

what will become, of that, which you have earned

Wow you sure have a lot of money to throw around. What do you need this pc for? If it's only gaming you can get the same performance for significantly less money, even when looking for aestethics aswell. I sure hope you don't buy the parts just because they are the "best" you can have at the moment...

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

I have my reasons and I have money thanks for the feedback again.

I haven't bought either the PSU or the cooler yet.

I appreciate your feedback but I don't think I asked about feedback on my rig.

fine, if you want the best aio, get the arctic liquid freezer II, or the new EK aio (although QC on those rads is spotty at best). Also, a friendly tip: if you're posting a list here, and asking here for help, you should probably be open to feedback. ciao

Amazon literally just restocked on the H150i Pro XT. I'll just get that.

 

I posted the list because I heard the 10900k gets really hot so I wanted to know what's a good cooler to get for it.

From what I heard from Gamers Nexus, Arctic's Liquid Freezer AIOs are about as good as they get. I'm more into air coolers myself though so I can't really say I watched reviews on that particular lineup of AIOs, but I'd suggest looking it up.

 

As for the rest of your system, as most have said above it can definitely be improved in terms of value, quite significantly actually.

All I'm going to say though is that considering the ridiculous budget, still having a 2TB mechanical hard drive in there is kind of silly; I'd just go all solid state.

And you're getting not only good cooler recommendations, but good recommendations for your whole system.

Yeah idk why I bought that HDD but it'll only be used to save clips/shadow play clips. I'm sure it won't make a difference right?

Should I replace the LL120s for SP120s or ML120s then? Should I keep the LL140s for case airflow?

outside of a pack of LL's costing way too much for what they are, they're the right type of fans for case airflow. I'd recommend looking into Deepcool RF120 for example, which cost much less while outside of the light effects being very similar in performance at quite a lower cost (~70 for 5x, ~50 for 3x as of right now in the US). when limiting yourself at Corsair, ML's are better than LL's in case airflow as well, due to them being meglevs instead of fluid dynamic bearings

 

as for the radiator fans, if you're limiting yourself to just Corsair, ML120's are the best (but most expensive) option, with SP120 being a cheaper, but still good option. you can again find cheaper options for this, where you're best off grabbing something oriented for static pressure instead of airflow fans.

 

then again, some of the options I gave are already with RGB fans, which will work just fine and save you the cost of buying another set of RGB fans

Alright, I'll switch out the LL120s for the ML120s. What about the LL140s though? Those will be used for airflow only. Should I just keep them or should I get ML/SPs for the case air flow as well?

for airflow the ML's are technically superior too, SP doesn't make sense for case fans as they're static pressure, not airflow oriented

 

then again, this case is... not that airflow oriented anyways, since the front panel isn't that open

I could just keep the LL140s for 2 front panel and 1 back. Shouldn't be that big of a deal right? I mean I could switch out all the LLs for the MLs idk really. I will definitely switch out the LL120s for ML120s for the rads but idk about the ones for the case lmao.

for the case the  ML's will be better, the LL's will look subjectively prettier... it's your call (this is again, if you're limiting yourself to Corsair)
