Which AIO for CPU (240 max)

[mmm273]

Hi im looking for good but not too expensive AIO for CPU.

Curently Im thinking about -

Corsair H100i V2

ENERMAX Liqmax II 240

 

And thats pretty much all.

I was thinking about Kraken X41/x61 but they are 140/280 and thats not fit to Fractal Define C at top position (CPU want to TOP),

 

In future I thinking about NZXT G10 + some AIO but thats gonna go for front so its can be 140/280 that will doesnt matter. But now I need to find something to fit in 120/240 at top for CPU.

 

Thanks.,

Pick which one you think looks best and fits your budget. They will all perform the same within a small margin. The corsair will probably come with quiter stock fans, judging by the higher price. But... Temps will be the same.

H100i v2 is a solid choice. You won't be dissatisfied as it is consistent and installation is very easy.

I would reccommend the Kraken x62 if you could fit it. It is a favorite of mine

While very little have tried this, EVGA recently released their own AIO. The CLC 280 liquid is a 280mm for $99 and has software for RGB and fan control. You can still front mount the radiator and reach the CPU.

He can't fit a 280 in the top of his case. He specifically said it has to be a 240

How about reading my reply fully before replying. His case has a front. Thanks.

To add one thing to your comment, Also please check reviews and stuff about the aio you may want to purchase as a bad aio could kill your system

NZXT Kraken X52 (240mm and awesome RGB circle on pump, best looking AIO)

Just wondering what graphics card are you trying to pur this on.

[mmm273]

thanks to all.

first of - it has to be 240 because it goes to top. Front will be GPU (980Ti, was discused at other topic).

x52 looks good, but its little expensive.

I can now get literally new H100i V2 for about 80€. Its good ?

It will be quiet at idle ? (load doesnt matter for me that much)

Can you tell us why it has to be on top if you're going to get a front mounted one later?

[mmm273]

because at front it will be for GPU.

 

I found now this - pretty cheap and had Great reviews, what you thinks ? https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/dominic-moass/arctic-liquid-freezer-240-aio-cpu-cooler-review/6/

Then just transfer the use of the front from the CPU to the GPU when you get another radiator.

[mmm273]

GPU will be at list in near future. But i want to buy first CPU and it has to be 120/240 because dont want to be limited when will buying for GPU (where compatibility with G10 is still small).

 

So thats it.

if your watercooling gpu with aio, may I recommend the nzxt universal mounting plate which basically allows you to mount any of the supported aios to your gpu and includes fan to blow over stuff like vrm

[mmm273]

yeah I know, if you mean G10, thats in plan. But still support for AIO is limited so I dont want to limit it futher to only 120/240 because my CPU will be sitting in front. So i will buy 120/240 AIO for CPU (where Im not limited with any "compatiblity list") and than I can go for GPU what ever I found compatible with G10.

NZXT has the Kraken X52 (240mm).

 

I'd personally recommend the Corsair H100i V2. Very competitive pricing and will perform within a tight margin as well. It's an Asetek unit, so we all know how those will perform.

[mmm273]

ok thanks to all, on weekend I will decide between that H100i V2 or that Arctic (which is my favorite now, as I read reviews its quiet and coolest, pretty cheap also)

what bout the fractal design celsius

[mmm273]

looked reviews and cooling performance is pretty bad. AIO as is looks great, but its between aircoolers in OCed performance, so no thanks.

oh, that sucks, tbh I don't care much bout aio's

Good luck on your cooling adventure

(also plz remember to select a best answer so people viewing posts know that this has been solved )

[mmm273]

Thanks.

Well Im looking inside case and wondering why Define C cant take 280 rad at top. There is place for 2x 140 Fans, and som+- space so dont really know, is there someone who can take a look at that ?
