Closed loop 360mm recommendations

[calarahil]

Curious what people's recommendations are on a 360 closed loop aio. I'm looking at fractals aio I have 3 noctua nf f12 fans I would like to pair with a aio. I have a 9900k (paired with a noctua nhd15), looking to upgrade my gpu to a rtx 3800 (probably founders edition), and I have a fractal design r6. Case Trying to not break the bank and also trying to plan for a possible heating issue with he reference founders cards.

The Arctic Liquid Freezer II and the EK-AIO are the best performers, according to GN's testing. Those are what I'd look for.

Arctic Liquid freezer II. One of the few coolers that's actually a different design (most are just the same Asetek unit with different brandings on it), and, well, it's actually better

I have seen that one but it's often out of stock. I'm wanting to get a 360 so I don't waste my noctua fans. Are there any other brands you like. I liked the fractal one because its a no frills unit with a pwn controller attached

It's fine, like most AIO's. The liquid freezer aside (which is better in part because it has a thicker radiator), the differences of pricing and quality between most of them come down to the fans. Since you'll be using your own fans, it might make sense to just pick whatever's cheap

I put myself on notify on the artic cooler (currently sold out on newegg) I just know they are highly sought after. I'll keep an eye I'm just preparing at this moment given that the rtx 3800 will shoot heat into my tower cooler.  Thanks for your help
