AIO advice request

[VINCEindaHOUSE]

Ive got a corsair h150 aio thats about 4-5 years old and is starting to make some noise. Im planning to do a system rebuild soon and was wondering who makes a good aio. Ive been considering one of the ones with a lcd but its not required.

Artic would be my go to for a new AIO.   Though my Thermaltake from 2017 is still going strong.

as long as it isnt a higher power cpu youll be fine with a good aircooler like the phantom spirit 120 but if you just have cash leftover thermalrights 360 aios like the aqua elite tend to go for around 55$ and near liquid freezer iii perf so its a pretty logical upgrade if you want something better and/or just want some extra rgb bling

 

the lcd aios are a complete ripoff dont even bother when you can do much better for the price be it cheap 7" hdmi displays or even this which ngl looks alot cooler than some teeny tiny overpriced aio display

so it is a high power high heat cpu and i want a aio because I like aios and dislike the look of aircoolers.

what cpu specifically?

 

and aesthetics wise fair enough considering the 360 thermalright aios arent that much more expensive than a phantom spirit whilst providing liquid freezer iii performance (demolishes basically all aircoolers even the overpriced d15 g2)

The main thing I was looking for are what brands are still making good aios for the most part. Like corsair, nzxt, ek (lol)?
