Best Corsair AIO right now?

[Fluuwu]

Hey guys!
I'm still in my planning phase for my white pc build, and I am currently looking for the best WHITE corsair AIO to get right now. (240mm, preferable below 200 bucks)
Any recommendations?

There are better options than Corsairs generic and overpriced units. That is, if you care about performance vs. white and RGB.

I am specifically looking for Corsair units, since I want the same fans everywhere.

You can also buy a better AIO than a corsair one and put the fans you want on it

true, fair point... in that case: what AIO would you recommend in a price range of around 150 bucks?

It’s the same price as the Deepcool lt520 and I think the deepcool looks better

Basically, look for any AIO that has a long lifespan pump that can move a lot of water and is not in the rad. Make sure the rad is good and the tubes are minimally porous. The fans are irrelevant, so don't worry about them. Once you've got it, buy the strongest Corsair fans that match your esthetic. In other words, static pressure above 4 mmAq and high airflow is also a good idea, but keep in mind that usually higher pressure comes with more noise.  Still, if you want the best results, that's what you need. 

 

Set your pump to a constant speed. Make sure tubes exit the side or top of the water block to prevent air build up. Mount the rad on the front or side, preferably with tubes down so that the air gets trapped in the far end of the rad. If your case is large, you should pay attention to tube length, and you may need to use a vertical mount if you have a long GC. If the pump is mounted on the tubes and you can have it be lower than the junction of the tubes and rad, you can also do tubes up, or top mount.
