Closed loop water cooling

[Tadas]

Hello everyone!

 

I am thinking about putting a closed loop in my case. But I have a few questions.

 

1. Is it silent?

2. What size/price/etc. is enough?

3. Can I upgrade it w/o buying a new one?

4. Which one could suit me best?

5. Does it have good longevity? (soory I didnt know how to say it, just wanna know if it lasts long like the simple air coolers )

 

My case is CM K350 

 And I plan a slight OC on my AMD 750k CPU. (I plan to upgrade my whole PC maybe next year, becouse today, what I have is completely enough for me (MSI 7770 ghz edition, AMD 750K, 4 GB RAM, Corsair CX430 and WD blue 1TB hard drive).

 

Thoughts?

Get an air cooler. They last alot

Longer, perform just aswell as AIO's, cheaper and are ALOT quieter than all in ones, if reccomend the NH-u14s or NH-U15 if it fits.

They are not quiet. My h100i was so bad I went custom loop.

You can not expand most of them. The H220 being an exception.

Depends on what you're cooling and how much you want to cool it

Compared to air, they don't last long.

After my experience with AIO's I think you either go custom loop or high end air cooling. AIO's are more expensive, break easier, are louder and perform just the same as a high end air cooler like a NHD15.

Just my $.02

getting an aio for your build doesn't make alot of sense. you don't need something like a h105 or 240l or h220 for your cpu.

if you're going cheap aio, might aswell go air cooling

 

I suggest you to just get a 212 evo and be done
