Coolermaster AIO or Be Quiet ROCK 2

Go to solution Solved by Emperor_Piehead,

The seidon 240m is the best performing, but if you get either aio the fans are really loud and would suggest switching them. The dark rock 2 performs fine nothing that amazing, but is quiet. 

I cant really decide between these three coolers, i want to overclock but keep a quiet rig or at least cooler but not very sure about it when it comes to these so give your recommendation.

 

Ill be using a 4670k

 

 

ROCK 2-

Its the only air cooler i would like but not sure how it would compare against the AIOs.

Seidon 120XL- 

I like the look of the block from their seidon series and its the cheapest of the three.

Seidon 240M-

Just a larger version which i assume would allow me to slow down the fans the most and keep temps down.

I'd go with the AIO. The 240M would be the best but you have to decide how much you want to pay. AIO puts less weight on the mainboard, can cool better and can be quieter. Also looks awesome and you can tell everybody that you have an watercooling setup :-P

Another good choice for an air cooler if you don't mind the color scheme is the Noctua NH-D14. But the Seidon 240M would be the best choice imo.
