Best AIO solution?

[Hemanse]

Gonna be replacing my CM Tropper shortly with a Phanteks Luxe and im pretty sure i wanna replace my NH-D14 from noctua with an AIO cooler, im not gonna be doing any crazy OCing, currently running at a modest 4Ghz on my 4670k, i have been overall pretty happy with the NH-D14, atleast when it comes to temperatures, running at 25-30 idle and max 55 under load, but the bulk of the thing is starting to get rather annoying, there is almost no room to work with even in a full tower case since the damn cooler is so big-

 

I have never used any sort of AIO solution or water cooling in general, so would love to know a little bit more, read around a bit and watched various videos, corsair seems to be very popular, but their new lineup doesnt seem to get the best reviews, then theres CoolerMaster, but after a horrible experience with my current case im not so sure about them either.

 

Anyone that can maybe help pointing me in the right direction, Corsair, CM, NZXT, Fractal etc?

Corsair or NZXT seem to be the way to go at the moment. From what I've seen the kracken x61 is super popular (though I am not a fan of the CAM software it comes with), but I can vouch for the H105 being an absolute stellar choice as well.

Corsair H110i GT or NZXT X61 or Swiftech H240X are some of the best around.

Think im gonna stand by my decision to never buy anything from CM again, but ill take a look at the H105.

Ah yeah, i heard good things about swiftech, not sure if any stores where i live sells em (Denmark), from the tests i saw the H110I GT did not look al that impressive tho.

Swiftech H220x/H240x hands down.

 

especially considering noise/performance ratio and expandability

Swiftech?

Slight problem when it comes to swiftech tho, have yet to find a retailer in my country that have them

Why do you need such a performance cooling solution if you're not overclocking much? Save a bunch of money and get a much smaller air cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo or something.

I can only recommend the none Asetek solution from Enermax. Consider reading my thread before though and in case you get it I'd appreciate a post if you actually had similar issues.

Then i can just stick with my NH-D14, but im also considering going for a 1 fan AIO solution, mainly also to get some space around the CPU.

i was looking for AIO too and i am doing minor oc, like 4gHz to my 4690k. i came down to these solutions as the best for 1 fan AIO but still haven't got one cause of money problem i didnt expect  

corsair h80i, coolermaster seidon 120v, thermaltake 3.0 performer and lately i found the fractal design kelvin t12 very intersting. most likely i will go for the 120v mainly for cost, but i will not have result in my temp tests at least till the end of the month so i can't recommend you something right now. from all these the h80i is the best in performance but it's really expensive compared to the others (in my country), the kelvin t12 is the best looking in my opinion, performance/price ratio the 120v wins and the performer didin't seem very good to me...
