Which is better

[Caolan.Kelly]

Hey I'm currently lookong at aio watercoolers for my ryzen 5 3600.

The two I have found to be reasonably priced (100 pound) are the h100i platinum rgb and the ml 240r.

My current set up is a cooler master case, case fans and corsair rgb ram. So for integration which do you think would be a best fit or would I be better of with an air cool and 3 case fans for the same price

 

Thank you

Just get an air cooler? Like an arctic esport 33/34 would be plenty. Why the more casefans? What case do you have?

masterbox mb511 rgb with the mesh front, one because for the price i can fit in 3 case fans for the top and an aircooler + id have the space ( both liquid coolers are about 100)

also for all that rgb goodness.

my problem is clearance is not great i have maybe 2mm to the ram sticks ( corsair vengeance rgb )

That cooler will fit no problem. It's meant to not obstruct ramslots and if it really bothers you you remove the front fan and just have it used the back fan on it.

 

If you put 3 fans on top as exhaust you will create a bit of a negative pressure system. It's fine just a bit more dust.

Would a negative pressure or positive be better, I know the 3 intake fans take enough in but having 6 intake and one out flow vs 3 intake and 4 outflow which would be better

would it be worth getting something like the artic freezer 34 and replacing the fans with an argb cooler master fans ?

You could do it but those fans cost about as much as the cooler. You could also just get a 5pack argb fans (for the price of one cm fan) from amazon and do it that way.
