Best bang for the buck AIO

Hello,

 

I was looking at 240mm AIOs to put on my Ryzen 5 1600 as I am planning to upgrade soon-ish to a H200i case.

 

Yes, I am aware that AIOs are no the best value for cooling performance. But I am doing it for the looks. Regardless, I do not want to buy an AIO that is going to fail on me in a week (I was considering the Enermax LiqMax II but I read reviews of several people who had a faulty pump which almost fried their CPUs).

 

So, what do you consider the best AIO for the price in the market right now?

 

I was considering the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240, but maybe there are better ones around?

I would like to avoid the Corsair H100i v2 because of its price, but if it's worth the price over the other ones I will go for it.

 

I can buy in both the UK and Italian market so the links are:

This one seems to be the same unit as the H105

Same unit as in it uses the same pump and rad? But sold by a different brand and, obviously, with different fans?

From what it looks like, do check though. They seem to be the same old Asetek AIOs used on H100s, but with thicker rad.
