Which water cooler?

[Arwanell]

what do you guys think?

(and please stop with other suggestions, because these are my only 2 options, because of.... reasons)

 

 

Coolermaster Seidon 120V

ENERMAX Liqmax II 120

Out of those two? The Seidon because I trust it more for some reason. I'd say a good air cooler (like the NH-D14/15(S) or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3) because for a similar price you get similar performance whilst being quieter (most of the time )

Neither really. If you get cheap AIOs then you get what you pay for. They arent really worth it performance wise, and would do worse than a top of the line air cooler. Untill you get to the dual radiators, 240mm or bigger, youre better off with a fan.

honestly aio isnt really worth it for single rad, you're better off with a beefy tower cooler.

 

unless theres good reason to get a single rad aio over a tower cooler, a tower cooler will be more reliable, more quiet, and potentially also perform better depending on the tower cooler you get.

@Arwanell Basically what he said. unless you have a mini-ITX case or something and have no clearance, get a big heatsink, a big fan, and you will be better off.

well, that's exactlly what i'm buying. Bitfenix Prodigy M

i want AiO because i don't want CPU's heat in my little case

i meant to mount these two on the back, but i guess i could mount dual rad on the floor

trust me, i have a tower cooler and 2 case fans at lowest speed, dont worry about having the heat in your case. the cpu's heat is the least of your problems in a small case.

 

i'll add something else: a friend of mine had the same idea as you, turns out his case was that small his aio wouldnt fit inside with the fan also on the inside, so he's left with his aio on the inside, and his fan bodged to the outside of his rear exhaust vent and it looks really fken stupid, for next to no extra performance over a tower cooler (if any at all)

Try getting a dual radiator as they will perform way better. But if you really have no choice the go with the Seidon 120V.
