hey everyone, I could either get this AIO Barrow LTCPR-360 CPU or I could get a Silverstone PF240. The Barrow one is 360mm and almost the same price as the PF240 but I don't know the brand and if it is high quality or not? I really want it because its 360mm for almost the same price. Can someone guide me? Thanks.

If you can afford an AIO for a 3600, you can afford a better CPU.

 

I'd wait for the new CPU's to come out and upgrade it if you are sitting on money to burn.

I just newly bought the 3600 and it is more than enough even though I use it with a 2080 Super even If I have the money I wouldn't change it since its pretty much brand new

a 3700x on a stock cooler will be much better than a 3600 on a aio, for the same money

I already have the 3600 and a 25 USD aftermarket air cooler but its very loud but the temps are fine. I want a AIO due to looks and noise level

adjust the fan curve in bios to make it quieter.

aios aren't guaranteed to be quiet, unless you do the exact same thing (adjusting the curve in bios)

Would you have a suggestion for 100-110 Range?

From companies with good warranty, like Corsair.

 

R5 3600 doesn't use a lot of power. I OC mine to 4.4GHz, only draws about 100w. A 240mm or 360mm rad doesn't make much difference in this case.
