Water cooler recommendations

[MoonlightSylv]

I ordered the Corsair Spec 01 which is a huge upgrade from this. And I want to get into watercooling so whats a good AIO for socket LGA1150 around the $50-$60 USD price range?

no aio is good there

just grab a criorig h7 and youll be fine

11/10 would not recommend an AiO for 60 USD. It's not worth getting an AiO over a more expensive air cooler if it's less than 240mm.

So would it be worth getting something like an H100i GTX?

NH-D14 and D15 outperform thse 120/140/240/280 AIO Coolers

Yes.

I put a Kraken X31 in my Spec-01. You can't go any bigger with the spec-01 or you have to remove the HDD bay. I can't even put a rad on top of the case because my Corsair Vengeance gets in the way.

If you absolutely need a budget AIO for your own personal tastes, H55 or Seidon 120v v2 are your best options. Perhaps even an x31 if possible.

 

I would recommend getting heatsinks for that price range though for pure performance.

Your case is very compact and unlikely to fit that cooler inside, Corsair on the website doesn't put the case as compatible with it unless you want to take the risk, so I would just get an air cooler since your case may not fit any 240mm AIO which are the only coolers worth getting for an Mid Tower case imo
