I would just get a NH-D15, less chances for faults, on par with top end AIOs for less money and makes less noise, but its huge and doesn't have the nicest look to it.

I would think that an AIO would have better performance than an air cooler.

Except for the fact that the NH-D15 is the best air cooler in the market at the moment and has beaten some 240mm radiators whilst costing less and having a lower chance of failing (mainly because I've never seen a heat pipe fail ever).

Yeah on LTT they did a review of the Dark Rock Pro 3 and the NH D15 performed better by about 8 degrees.

The only downside are the shit brown and vomit tan fans.

Yeah and they are not even close to my color scheme.

What about a Phanteks PH-TC14-PE? That looks like a pretty good cooler.

Nevermind all the coolers that everyone recommended aren't compatible for my case.
