So my H100i is about to die. It's still running but it's starting to hum more and more frequently. Unfortunately because It's second hand, I can't just RMA it, so I need a replacement. I need something that is 240mm and has good performance, default fans are irelevant (I have 2 EK Vardars). What should I be looking at?

My GPU History: GTS 250, 7790, 7850, GTX 660ti, 7870XT, 7970, 280X, 280X Crossfire, 290, 290X, Fury X, 390 Crossfire, Fury Crossfire, 1070, 1080, 1080ti.

My CPU History: Pentium 4, Pentium E5300, Core 2 Quad QX 9650, Intel Xeon 1230 v3, 4790K, 3930K, 5820K, 1700, 3700X.

Are you against aircooling? Less noice, probably cheaper and less parts that can fail. Just a suggestion

I would say the Ek predator one looks quite good and it is easily upgradable in the future. Jay did a video comparing them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWN7NFxqS08

Bit expensive lol

My system is kinda for looks. Also my Vardar's would kinda go to waste (plus OC'd 4790K)
