Thoughts on this cooler

[GeorgeKellow]

I have around £70 to spend on a AIO cooler

Man I hate seeing these things all the time, they always lure people in with the oh so simple to setup and beautiful straight from the get-go charade, until you realise these things not only seem to always show up broken to people, but break within like 3 months, had an acquaintance that bought one of these and not only where the screws splitting the hub they were in, but one of the nozzles eventually cracked ON THEIR OWN, obviously this one experience doesn't dictate anything, but with a quick search you can see how many others experienced similar problems.

 

I'd just stay away.

 

Edit: want to clarify, I'm pretty sure the screw splitting was on his first one that he sent back from the company he bought it through, and then the second one was the self cracking nightmare.

Are you looking for a flashy AIO like this? if so it's going to be pretty hard because the only reason this thing ever sold was because it gave you the looks without having to do anything custom, unless that's changed in the year or so I learnt about them.

I want a solid AIO for the price (Or air cooler. No noctua.)

For a price range like that i'm sure you could always just fall back on the ol' reliable crosair h100i, if I'm doing the price conversion correctly you should definitely be able to find one for £70, but the uk version of pcpp isn't hosting any links to websites in which you can buy it with your currency so there's the end of my journey, but i'm sure a search from you will be able to pick one up somewhere.

Just a question, are you limited to 240mm AIO's? I suggested the h100i because I thought fit the price range and also fit into what you needed it to be, but if not you have a lot more to look at, eg the Corsair h60 or the kraken X31 in the 120mm department.
