AIO Choice

[techrecorder]

Hello!

I'm using a i7-10700K and I found 2 AIO's that would fit nicely with my build.

Corsair H115i RGB Platinum and the NZXT Kraken x63 (both 280mm).

 

Any opinions on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you considered the Arctic Liquid Freezer II? It gives great performance at a great price.

Unless you're specifically looking for RGB and all that in your cooler, I'd go for the Liquid Freezer II 280mm. I'd have recommended the EK-AIO 280, but that's still nowhere to be found in Romania.

 

The LF II is cheaper than the two AIOs you listed, while performing better in terms of cooling and/or noise. You can watch this review of it, for reference:

I've chosen these 2 AIO's specifically since they would fit very nicely in the build, performance on both of these aren't very different to those of the Liquid Freezer II 280mm. And generally I trust Corsair & NZXT more especially regarding warranty.

Why would you trust two rebranders instead of company who actually does negineering on their products? Basically, both Corsair and NZXT are same shit with same mediocre fans and equally mediocre pumps. Difference would be bigger with higher power draw, but if you plan on just gaming, then either is fine.
