AIO for 9900k

[AMEERiii]

Knowing that the LGA1151 socket is dead, I heard LGA115x are in some AIOs that support the 9900k. I just want someone to confirm or have any experience in this; already a few AIOs with LGA115x are available, so a quick yes or no would be good. My 9900k still rocks, so I just want to use it for at least another 5 to 6 years. I will be buying a new system hopefully in 2 years.
I will list down some AIOs that I am thinking of. This is what I have in mind, but I am open to any suggestions.

NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB
NZXT Kraken Plus 240  RGB
As much as I have searched, only NZXT Kraken has LGA 115x. 

My spec
9900k
asus rog strix z390-e gaming
1080ti

Thanks.

Do you need AIO's for this LGA115x or just an AIO that fits your current board?

 

I use a Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate 360 on my 9900K on Z370 (in sig).

 

I am not understanding the LGA115x issue while you have a LGA1151 board which many AIO's fit.

get an air cooler instead. it will last for the next 5-6 years of this build AND probably work in the next build as well, just a new backplate/mounting bracket.

Thermalright Spirit 120 or peerless assassin 120 would be very sufficient and cost less than an AOI that will probably fail within the next 5 years.

While I respect your posts and comments greatly, I have to take issue with that.

 

An AIO that will probably fail within the next 5 years?  They don't do that.  No.  Mine on my 9900K was bought with the 8700K and works like a champ still. May 10, 2018...

 

I do agree an air cooler is just fine, but AIO's don't just fail fast.

True, I may be a bit hyperbolic, but AOI's do have a far greater failure rate than air coolers and they certainly don't last as long.

I mean OP can do whatever, they aren't spending my money, but you know I opt for no frills, basic reliable functionality above all else.

as a follow-up thought, I find it peculiar that some people complain and bad mouth HDD's because they have "too many moving parts and fail because of moving parts" yet will argue until they are blue in the face about AOI's.

It don't make any sense.

Yeah, I have HDD's over a decade old that still work.  They're just slow, is all.  And big.

Almost any aio still does that.

 

For example a acrtic liquid freezer II or III are about half the price, better and also do. Its hard to find one that doesnt actually.

 

Or just get a thermalright peerless assasin 120 air cooler and call it good. 35$ great cooler will cool a 9900k fine.

Relative to an air cooler they do. An air cooler kept in good conditions could outlive you and your kids combined. An AIO is essentially god-tier if it lasts even 10 years. 

 

But you're right, that's not quick by any means lol. AIOs are just fine

 

 

[ItTakes2ToMango]

Any reason you need an AIO? Seems like you are spending extra money for nothing.

 

@jaslionis right, a thermalright peerless assassin 120 air cooler would kick the 9900K's butt

Usually the ones that die before 5 years are rhe ones that are installed incorrecrly where air is trapped in the pump or cycles through it a lot. Still have a h80 or a i7920 and it works. It rattles a bit but it works. 

 

This is an outlier btw. Ive seen so many die early too.

Yep, I expect a 7-year lifespan for AIOs but I always give or take 3 years for the lifespan of tech.

 

So if it lasted only 4 years, I'd think well that sucks but within expectations.

 

If it lasted more than 10, I'd be ecstatic about it

 

Meanwhile, I have air coolers older than me that still work. ~30 years old and going strong. My favorite cooler I have is a Hyper 212 evo from like 2012. It's still kicking and is currently cooling an i7 7700

Haha, got a orochi B running on a am4 5600x. Thing has a mount for am2, which means it clips on to am3, which means it clips on to am4 :p.

 

Else there's like ancient pentium 3 machines happily chugging away at cnc machines at customers. Worst they needed was a new fan after a decade or 2 of not being turned off :p.

 

Aio's are inherintly weaker due to just having more moving parts that can fail. Its fine if you want it for aesthetic purposes but functionality wise they arent needed in 99% of cases

Thanks for the respond, I forgot to add acrtic liquid freezer III on the post. Will acrtic work with 9900k???

While AIOs don't necessarily just fail after 5 years, they do become less efficient over time as the liquid escapes the loop.  No matter how good it is, there is less liquid in the loop over time reducing its ability to do its job.

 

Air coolers just don't behave like that, its very rare for heatpipes to fail, I've never had one do so.  As long as you stick to an air cooler using standard fan sizes/mounts, they pretty much last forever.

I agree. I bought a 9900k with a Corsair H150i Pro 360 in 2018, and it still works. 
And for everyone saying to go for air, I am comfortable with AIO.
Thermaltake is not available in my region.

Ok then keep it. No reason to replace a working one

Lol no you’re rubbishing that a 9900k is an extremely hot chip and it will be more stable with a good AIO that allows for a lot of heat soaking vs a bulky air cooler that hits max temperature very quickly.
 

I’m a fan of air coolers they’re much better than when the requirements are lower and the cooler master  212 3dhp(paired with a better fan) is excellent.

What is rubbishing?

 

I'm simply stating that aio do not just fail within 5 years.

 

I didn't compare it with anything.

 

Edit: ThO I will say if you need to replace the fans on an air cooler, it's not that good of an air cooler is it?  Get a decent one from the jump.  And no, a single fan cpu cooler isn't ideal for a 9900k.
