Hey everyone, I’m looking for an AIO recommendation that has good RGB looks, can handle a 12 core Ryzen and doesn’t break the bank. Hoping for under $175.00

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 3600 (4.2ghz) // Board: ASrock B550 PG Velocita // Cooler: EK AIO 280 D-RGB // RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 3200 (16gb 8x8) // GPU: MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frzr /// PSU: XPG Core Reactor 850w /// Storage: WD SN850x 1tb (boot) + Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD (low priority storage) // Case: NZXT H5 Flow

Somewhat difficult to find cases it fits into though.

Even a peerless assassin will handle a 12 core ryzen, so basically any 360 aio will work, just sort by cheapest

I’ll take a look at them, this upgrade isn’t happening for a bit anyways.

Where do you live?

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

Ok, watch the KitGuruTech cooler reviews (or read the articles) on YT. They list several more than actually show up on any one video, but the most recent included EK Nucleus, Lian Li Galahad, Arctic Freezer II, Endorfy F280/F360, and several others, most of which were within 1-2 degrees of each other. If I had time, I would go through and find all of their lists and make a complete one from it. I don't have time, sadly.

Why can't you make time?!? 🙂  J/k

 

Didn't the Galahad have some sort of issue?   Arctic did as well - but, it's since been fixed and stamped on the box with declaration that it's been fixed.   I have never heard of Endorfy.   There's a few 'fans' of the Deepcool LT720(?) too - although, I dunno if there's any complaints with fan noise - I think I read of some.   Although, you can replace the fans - as some ppl have discussed in another thread.   That puts the total (cost/price) up, though.

Lian Li Infinity fans sound pretty good - so, maybe the Galahad probs have to do with pump issues?   My country had good deals for those but now the price went up - but, ironically, they're often out of stock.   The Deepcool AIOs are often among the lowest priced AIOs.   

 

Thermalright has a series of AIOs now, too - Prism, Magic etc. - I dunno if these are very good but they have their supporters/fans - they're kind of cheap in price though - so, that could be good or bad?  🙂

I can't comment on Galahad problems. All the knights had problems. 😉

 

Deepcool, Thermalright, Thermaltake and many others are Chinese brands, or made there, so they SHOULD be cheap.

 

Endorfy is a European brand that apparently just started sell in the Americas, they normally are available in Europe and Asia.

F240

F280

F360*

Fortis 5 (air)

 

*Not currently available on Amazon. Nothing on NewEgg.

Yeah, I'd probably stick with the other brands (German?) like Arctic and EK - and I was thinking of getting an AIO at some point in the future.   I'd be worried about the pump suddenly going kaput with the other brands.

Arctic is produced in China, too, but it's a German company.
