Looking for good AIO to cool i5 8600k

[DrBonesMcCoy]

What is the best 280mm AIO? I've seen stories about corsair failing after 6 months but not sure who to go with instead. Thanks

EVGA CLC 280 is good, but has cancer fans.

I'd get it and par with 2 NF-F12 chromax

Pretty much all of them are different versions of Asetek units, with 4-5th gen pumps

Corsair's AIOs are fine. The stories of them leaking are very rare occurrences.

 

But... I'd rather get a i7-8700/K over a i5-8600K with an expensive cooler.

8700K will need even stronger cooler lol

Meh, can always get an entry-level cooler and upgrade down the road. Would still prefer a stock i7-8700K over an overclocked i5-8600K.

NH-U14 or NH-D15 would do fine with the 8700k. You might lose a tiny bit of overhead that you would get with a high end AIO but the cost difference would allow other upgrades.

Not getting a 8700k as the 8600k is cheaper and fine for just gaming. thanks for opinions though
