About to swap out my i7-4770K rig for a new i7-8700K, and planning to also replace my NZXT X61. (out of warranty, with pump noise)

 

I've found most discussions are between NZXT X62 vs Corsair H115i. (most posts seem to prefer the former)

Should I just be getting a X62, or are there any other good options that I should also consider?

CPU: i7-4770K @4.5GHz, MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H, RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 1866MHz 8G x2, GPU: GIGABYTE GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD.


Case:  NZXT H440 (white), Storage: Liteon 256GB M.2 SSD + Liteon 240GB 2.5" SSD + Hitachi 1TB x2 (RAID 1), PSU: 750W SilverStone, Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61.


Monitor: BenQ EW2440L *2, Mouse: Razer DA Chroma, Razer Orochi, AORUS M7, KB: Corsair K70 RGB, KBT RACE II, Razer BW Chroma, Razer Orbweaver Headset: AKG K512, Steelseries H Wireless

I would go with corsair, They come with great fans. The pump is silent. And has bendable tubing.

CPU: Intel Core i9 9900K | Ram: 16GB Corsair LPX 3000 DDR4 | Asus Maximus XI Hero Z390 | GPU: EVGA RTX2080 XC | 960 EVO Samsung 500GB M.2 | 850 EVO Samsung 250GB M.2 | Samsung 1TB QVO SSD | 1TB HDD WD Blue 

Laptop: Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 9370 | I7 1065G7 | 32GB DDR4 | 1TB SSD |

Corsair is really good. Though I have the h100i v2, the h115i will perform absolutely well. The rule of thumb is to stay away from single fan radiators as CPU's nowadays need a lot more cooling performance than back then where a single fan rad was passable.
