H100i v2 going bad after 6 years? And what is best replacement cooler for 5900x

[Dexterity]

what is the life expectancy of a AIO cooler?
I bought mines back in Late 2015 for my 6700k, and only recently I upgraded to a 5900x.

 

my idle temps are around 40C-45C, which seems to be somewhat normal form 5900x from researching on the forums. (I believe anywhere around 30C for the 6700k)

But whenever I spin up any game, it goes to 90C immediately and it feels like cool air is being blown from the fans on the radiator.

 

Do yall think the AIO is finally dead?
If the AIO is really dead, I guess no more AIOs for me if they only last few years.

what would be a good Air cooler for a 5900x?

What's your full specs? Sounds like a dead pump in your H100i. I'd consider six years to be pretty decent for an AIO tbh, but if you're looking to try something different I'd probably recommend the NH-D15.

My H100i Platinum died after 1.5 years. Yours went pretty good tbh.
In my opinion, get an air cooler or do custom loop. AIOs are not worth it

haha interesting, I guess I got lucky for 6 years of AIO

Yeah currently I am looking at the NH-D15 and Dark Rock Pro 4.
I might be leaning towards the Dark Rock Pro 4 because it is cheaper and in stock.

Good for you. I had to wait 2.5 months to import a NHD15 chromax.

thanks this is really good information! I will compare these too the DarkRock Pro4

the CPU cant dump enough heat to fully challenge any of the air cooler mention. so it really comes down to what style you like. but really question is will these fit in your case?

good tip! maybe time to measure my case, but I already ordered oops
or... its a good time for a new one xD Fractal Design R5 is getting old

I already pulled trigger on the DarkRock Pro4, its all black and was in stock, just wanted to get something fast.

there is enough room

 Not trying to hijack the thread but it feels kinda redundant making a new one as the pump in my own h100i I bought in 2015 myself is making some noises. I am running a 5960x @4.5GHZ with 1.29 volts and it never goes above 80 degrees but I am worried that the strain is finally getting to it and it will go any day now. I am thinking about replacing it with an air cooler if it does but I am worried that any of the top of the range coolers will cut off the first PCI slot of my Asus Rampage V Extreme 3.1 which would screw up the spacing that would allow me to NVLINK a second RTX 3090 when supplies and prices normalize.

 

Stupid displacement maps, eating all mah VRAM.

 

 I know that this is the case with the NHD15, does anyone know of a competing air-cooler that is a little narrower so that it will fit my Gigabyte Aorus Master 3090 with its backplate or will I just have to invest in another AIO?

yea you should start your own thread. your conditions are different, but anyways I'd take look at the macho coolers from thermalright or the ninja 5 from scythe. if you get the ninja 5 I would some different fans. it's not that the fans are bad, they are just a bad pairing with cooler. slap some artic p12s on there and call it a day.

Nice list of air coolers, but they might be too large for the Rampage motherboard with how close the top PCI-e slot is located. AIOs might be the most viable option.
