What cooler should I use for a 9700k

[Landvader07]

My dad is giving me his 9700k ands I have a choice of 3 coolers

1. a Corsair H115i platinum 280mm aio

2. A Corsair H110 Capelex 240mm aio

3. a Noctua NH-U12s

I mainly play Cyberpunk, Helldivers 2, Beam ng drive, Counter strike 2, Crysis, and Roblox.

What cooler would be the best for gaming?

They are all going to be able to cool the 9700k for gaming workloads.

The best would be the 280mm H115i.

Most reliable would be the Noctua NH-U12s.

Il use the H115i because it's already installed in my case and because it cools the CPU the best

That's a slim and expensive selection of choices, unless you already have those purchased.

Cooling + possible aesthetics, can't go wrong with an AIO assuming it's working.

They both work amazingly

Question is: for how long? AIO's leak tiny amounts of fluid until they're finally dry. No such issues with an air-cooler like the Noctua in your list.

I pretty sure that the coolant evaporates. And none of my coolant has evaporates and should last for a long time.

280mm AIO would be the best. But all of them will get the job done.

Even closed loops evaporate, but it takes years.
