For 60 USD you should rather be looking into a good air cooler, like the Be Quiet Shadow Rock or Scythe's similar offerings. Way better bang for buck than a 60 USD AIO

I have a BeQuiet case, which includes their Silent Wings fans. I can't recommend them enough.

 

With the difference variants of the Shadow Rock, you can either spend:

 

$43 - Shadow Rock LP (Low Profile Cooler)

$50 - Shadow Rock Slim

$52 - Shadow Rock 2 (There's also a second listing for $50 for this).

 

Pick which one you prefer for price and style. Also, the price will vary depending which TDP you choose, but the A10 7700k is only a 95W TDP.

 

EDIT: If you are happy with a lower TDP rated cooler (The lowest for the Shadow Rock is around 120W, which is still more than enough for your A10 7700k (95W), then the price can drop even more, to around $33.

I got another 140mm Silent Wings as a case fan and I'm very happy with it. Thinking of fitting my PC with some more :D

I also have a Dark Rock 3 which also has one on it and it does very well.

 

Can recommend Be Quiet very well.

Single rad AIOs are only good choice if you have size restrictions or some weird looks fetish. For that money you get some really good air coolers that kick any AIO out of water.

for $60 you can get a signifcantly better air cooler than any aio of the same price.

Shouldn't matter. You still get better value from air cooler in that price range. You can get coolers like Dark Rock 3, H5 and maybe U14S (it might be bit more). Which all are better than single rad AIO you could get for that, maybe H60 at best.

How much room do you have?

 

imo putting a $100 AIO on a $50 CPU is kinda crazy. There are excellent low profile air coolers like the Noctua NH-C14 or Thermaltake's AXP-200 for $60-70. But then you'd still have a cooler that's more expensive than the CPU

 

Why not save a bit more and upgrade to Ryzen R3?

H80i is only good 120mm AIO I know. But I know mostly air cooler (and @TheRandomness decided this was place for asking about AIOs...). What case? There are still ton of coolers which fit smaller cases. Like you could get D14 into 160mm restricted case.

Because all of the responses at the time were or air coolers. Guess I didn't read the OP :P

We are saying at your price point air coolers are just better. But if you indeed have size issues, I won't argue.

 

BTW, your posts are getting harder to understand. I hope it isn't some disabling condition going worse.
