Best Closed-Loop CPU Kit?

[FunkieFalcon]

Hello! I have an i7-6700k and want to know what is the best CPU cooling kit out there. My case is a Corsair Air 540 and I plan to put the radiator+fans in the front. The front mount supports a 240mm, 280mm, or a 360mm radiator. Thanks for any help!

I've always been partial to NZXT'S kraken x61

No budget, just looking for performance.

i suggest an NH-D15, it's an air cooler but mops the floor with most liquid cooler even the H110, i should know i have one on my OCed i5 to 4Ghz maxing out at 75°C

That's actually really hot for that OC. I had my 4670k at 4.6GHz and it never broke 60C even during stress tests using an NH-D14.

I've been spoiled by the simplistic design and size of water cooling kits. Air coolers are way to bulky for me and my case.

H110iGTX / kraken X61

OR

if you have a ton of money, the EK predator 360

i got on a silent profile

Definitely EK predator 360, but the H110iGTX's are great.

 

Also, Kraken X61, although I've never used this cooler before, but Ive heard its really good.

Never heard of the predator 360. How well does it perform?

better than all other AIOs on the market

its extremely expensive because it actually uses custom loop parts, so its basically just a prebuilt custom loop

What is the cost?

Well I will consider that If it really is worth it. But, what about the Corsair H110i GTX vs Kraken X61?

I do enjoy that the GTX has the added feature of the RGB. Going for a white, black, and red color scheme.

I would just go with the predator 360 you can add a GPU block to it and still maintain great temperatures
