AIO for Ryzen

[StealthArsenal]

Hello all,

 

So I am building up a Ryzen system as a secondary system to my X99.  I'm not looking to go with a custom loop on this system so I plan to utilize an AIO or at least I think I am.  With that, what is the recommended AIO's these days.  I have used the H100i on a number of occasions.  In recent times I have seen others recommending the Cooler Master or Deepcool.  I am leaning toward the Asus Crosshair board, so I can get away without the AM4 mount if that matters.  this will be built in a Mastercase 5 case. 

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.

NZXT Kraken x62

 

EDIT: I don't think that they are being shipped with AM4 brackets yet so you would have to submit a request to NZXT to get one:

If you want absolute best performance i'm not too sure, but if you want good looks + good performance, the Kraken X61/62's are great. Little bit expensive when compared to the h100 for example though.

I was looking at an X61.  Didn't think there was much of a difference from the X62.  With the Crosshair board, I can just use the AM3 socket holes until the AM4 kit comes.

Just out of curiosity more than anything, has anyone used the Cooler Master Master Liquid 240/280 coolers.  Any better or worse than the Kraken or H110?

I have just ordered an AM4 retention bracket from Corsair for my H100GTX.. Didn't cost much at all.  that has saved me from ordering a new unit completely.  Check out Corsair.com.  It's under CPU Cooler Parts and Accessories..

I wish I had a spare aio around.  I have h100s in my other rigs around the house, but they were built for the family.  My EK predator is staying with my 5820k so I am stuck with a new one.

OK i just posted my review of the masterliquid pro240 in the review section here please read whole post. Over all its a pretty good cooler and the flow op tech is the same as what ek uses on there water blocks with how the water is flowed /sprayed in the middle of the cooling bock instead of from one side to the other ...Also i recommend looking up reviews on youtube as one from Paulshardware he put it against his corsair 110 280mm rad set up and the masterliquid pro 240 was within 1% of the same cooling
