Hello, so I am nearly done with my build however I still need a cpu cooler (liquid). I am leaning towards the kraken x61 but I want to know what you guys think.

yea any dual 140mm cooler will be good, the kraken is good or the corsair h110 is also good

 

i think i saw somewhere a 360mm AiO cooler, let me google it

 

found it

that will be better than a dual 140mm

any limits on price? i personally went with h100i due to it being on sale and perfect fit in to how much i saved for upgrades, h110 is good i heard but that 360mm looks good as well. 

The temp difference will be slight from brand to brand between a single fan/dual fan/triple fan setup respectively. If price isnt a limit and ur case brand has a AiO cooler, i would recommend going with that but im defiantly not following that using a NZXT case with a corsair cooler, corsair mouse, amd gpu, intel cpu, razer mousepad+keyboard and rosewell power supply :lol:  :ph34r:

If I went for an AIO I might have gone for the X61, NZXT has an attractive 5 year warranty if I remember correctly. Long warranties make me sleep good at night.
