So I'm looking to watercool my 2500k to get a higher clock. No, I'm not switching the CPU out right now, that's later down the road.

 

Anyways, I'm looking at a whole bunch of AIOs to get the job done, and most of them (especially the H80i, which was the one I liked) were rather expensive for their size.

 

Then I stumbled on this cooler: https://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-CAPTAIN120-Visible-Cooling-Radiator/dp/B01J4ZGIUW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1485270724&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=red+led&psc=1

 

However, It has minimal reviews, and I haven't seen much on any youtuber's channel from this company. Could anyone give me any insight on how this thing performs and or if it is reliable?

 

Any insight at all would be great, user experiences and such. The only reason i'm not pulling the trigger is the lack of reviews in general.

 

Thanks guys.

I strongly recommend against getting single rad AIOs. Their performance is ussualy rivaled by air cooler that are half the cost.

Very very reliable water cooler. I have it in my own build and managed to overclock my 6700k to 4.7 GHz with it. I recommend it !

Sorry for responding this late... about 70-75 degrees Celsius

 

Just checked and I have the three fan capable radiator version... I don't know if it affects temps that much...My bad: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J4ZG6RC?psc=1
