..what? Steelseries doesn't make fans as far as I know.

I wouldn't get a h110 in the first place but would replace the fans if I did since the stock fans are pretty loud.

AIO just aren't that great. They're always louder and more expensive then similarly performing air coolers. And the best air cooler beats the best AIO by a couple degrees.

This is about looks not performance.

If I had to, I'd go with a Glacier 240L and put Gentle Typhoons or Noctuas on it.

The NH-D15 is better than most air coolers and AIOs. Like others have already said, the corsair fans on H100i/110 are noisy as hell. I would get either the NH-D15 or TC14PE. If you are on a budget then go for the TC14PE because it performs almost exactly like the NH-D15 while costing significantly less.

If you had read my other post I said because of looks. Air coolers look like a gigantic piece of crap that fills the entire case. I don't care about performance. I want something aesthetically pleasing that does not block the view of my motherboard, ram, or graphics card. That is why I have an H100i. Plus the stock fans do not suit my colour scheme so I changed them.

idk man the fans on my H80i spin at 500rpm and keep my CPU under 55C at my OC. Also the D15 looks horrible.

When do the steel series come out and do you think they will cost more and would you replace the two 140mm fans that come with the h110.

I'd get the NZXT Kraken X60, it's also a 280mm AIO with a quieter pump. Slap two Noctua NF-A14's on it in pull and you're golden.

I don't think AIO's even look good anymore, because everyone and their mum has one. Call me a hipster but I think a h100i instantly makes a pc boring now.
