Whats the best 120mm/140mm all in one?

I need a new cooler for my build, my old H80 bit the dust so im looking for a replacement, preferably something that is quiet.

I have been using the H105 for the past 6 months and love it. Having said that, I have also built computers (several) with the H80i and it, too, works great.

the H80 leaves a lot of cooling headroom off the table (hence the high fan

speed) i believe Linus documented 13° warmer than the H100i using the

same fans at 1100rpm. 13° is a lot to give up, so i'd deffo offer up the

240/280 for better thermals and sheer quieter ops.

 

the 240 market would be H100i/H105, coolermaster 240M

for 280 it'd be the x60/61,CM 280M or H110 (assuming the case allows

fitment)

 

otherwise the air coolers are a bit better in noise and thermals without the

extra fan costs.

I don't get it... isn't OP asking for best 120/140mm AIO, not dual 120/140's?

 

140: NZXT X41

 

^If I recall correctly, in push/pull and in max rpm, it beats H100 (or maybe H100i or something, but you get the point) at max rpm as well

i am recommending not to get another single fan radiator as they do not produce

thermals as air coolers for the price point and considering them like the OP is

for quietness is futile.

Is there an air cooler that you recommend that isn't obnoxiously big that is also quiet with great performance?

Cooler master 212 evo. cheap and very effective. Im using one right now with a 4790k and at 1.210v I never go above 75*c but it depends on your chip temps as well, no chip is alike.
