299 itx liquid

[jack1940]

My case is case M1.

Which 240m liquid is the best?

 

Master liquid pro 240? H100i v2? Or something else?

 

I9 7920X   140W TDP  

 

thank you

The h100i v2 would suffice but you shouldn't really overclock a 12 cores processor on a mini-ITX motherboard in my humble opinion.

As @Princess Cadence stated, it would be best not to overclock in this chassis with this cooler, as you would need a delid on the CPU and active cooling on the VRM to sustain even a modest OC under the restrictions of the ITX form factor.

 

I would also recommend an undervolt, to help assist with taming the heat of the X299 platform. This will not only assist with the longevity of the CPU, it will also assist with noise as you will not need to run your fans nearly as fast to keep the CPU at a reasonable temperature. 

 

As for which cooler is the best, most of them use similar pumps (aside from Cooler Master), so between Corsair, EVGA and NZXT, you are getting nearly identical performance, with the only difference being style and fan noise/performance. I personally use an EVGA CLC, and while I find their fans to be less than ideal from both an aesthetic and acoustic perspective, they certainly get the job done. If it were me, I'd look for high performance aftermarket fans, since it's likely not an option for you to be able to use push/pull in an ITX chassis, so you will need all the static pressure you can get.

 

I'd say the H100i, the EVGA 240, or the NZXT 240mm AIO's are my recommendation, since they all perform identically and I have an idea of their relative performance. I have no experience with the CM AIO's, so I cannot give an educated opinion on those AIO's.

Never thought of OC
