Question about a product: Alphacool Core Storm 420mm XT45 Water Cooling Set

[dragon3336]

Is this product (Alphacool Core Storm 420mm XT45 Water Cooling Set) good? I want to cool first an Intel I9 11900kf and later an Intel Core i7-13700k processor. This would be my first custom water cooling so I ask here

what case do you have, that would be the first thing to check since 420mm is quite large and wont fit in most cases. Other then that it seems fine although are you sure you want to get that instead of a good quality AIO?

What case do you have? This fits in VERY FEW cases.

 

Will you be cooling your gpu too?

 

If no then don't get it and get a normal cooler.

 

As for is it good? Yeah but it's 4x the price of a aio that does just as well.

Custom water really only makes sense of you do CPU and GPU, and even then… it doesn’t make much sense. Custom water, or even AIO’s, really only are worth it for the noise reduction. For cooling, a noctua NHD15 or any comparable air cooler is plenty.

 

If the point is to reduce noise, then water is more viable. I turn most of my case fans off if GPU temp is under 50c for example, and only have them turn on and ramp up if the temp gets up past 50. Even with most fans off, my top 420 rad with the fans spinning at 650 ish rpm is enough to keep my CPU cool under anything except a synthetic benchmark. Once I start gaming and both CPU and GPU are loaded, then the front rad fans turn on, along with other case intake fans. This keeps the idle noise literally impossible to hear, and gaming noise is still low as fans never go past 900rpm. 
 

My water loop with blocks cost ~700 bucks. So it’s not worth it… unless the goal is silence.

It'll fit but like just spec a loop out yourself and do it in 1 go. Not in multipls that adds to the price and difficulty like a ton.

 

Also way higher failiure chance
