AIO recommendation/Help

[Ronnmann]

Hello People, 

 

i am looking for an AIO cooler that is well received and good in general. I won't deny it, its mostly for looks because they are fancy in my opinion. 

But i am not a watercooling pro and have mostly no idea if i need to refill the Water loop or something. I saw some AIO's with a refill port, but i dont have any experience with AIO's as i said. 

 

Another thing is I DO KNOW that my Ryzen 5 7600 does not need any better cooling that it gets from my Pure Rock 2, but i want to upgrade to a high end CPU in the future, and then i will need better cooler what so ever. 

So i wanna spent some money that i can upgrade safely in the future and i guess better cooling is always good, even for my little CPU. 

 

I saw the Lian Li galahad 2 360 but in reviews i read they say that this AIO is a bit loud. 

 

There's my story haha, i just need some more heads to think this through.

If you wanna have good and yet silent AIO, ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER II 360, BE QUIET! SILENT LOOP 2 360, and DEEPCOOL LS720 would be a great choice

The arctic freezer has a offset mount, is that actually helpful or some marketing thing?

There are some AIO that have refillable liquid

But, in most of the case, when you have reached the time to refill the liquid, it is most likely that the other parts of the AIO has reached it's life cycle such as pump and fans

That's why until now, there are not a lot of AIO with refillable liquid

For the AIO that I have mentioned above, none of them are refillable

 

Plus, refilling the liquid requires a specific tool in order to minimize air bubble trapped inside the hose

Because the bubble would decrease the efficiency and the pump must drive harder to cope with that

It actually does help, especially on Ryzen CPU

Because the core inside Ryzen CPU is located different compared to Intel counterpart, by having offset on the plate, it could have better contact and heat delivery

 

The other good news, since you're using Ryzen 7600, it probably doesn't matter on the offset setup

Even if you're upgrading to 7800X3D (the best CPU for gaming), it doesn't really matter because it doesn't consume incredible amount of power

I'm using 7800X3D with Thermalright Peerless Assassin and it does fine with max temp 60C while gaming. So in my opinion, AIO is probably better suit if you're using Intel high end CPU with extreme overclocking
