What air cooler should I get? its the second time my corsair AIO pump fails, I don't want to see another AIO in my life, plus they're a pain in the ass to install (fans and rad)

 

I have an i7 3770k, gets very toasty at 4.2 Ghz (70º)

noctuas, anything noctua (get the biggest one you can get while making sure it clears your ram slots or ram sticks in height) or cooler master 212evo or ma410p (which is the same but rgb), cryorigs are awesome too!

 

 

some of those are as powerful than some aio's so, i don't personally see the benefits of watercooling with an aio (except for overclocking (sometimes)), to me watercooling should be custom or no watercooling, anyway if you're watercooling,you have good to great hardware so, why not push it a bit further, and aio's to me are kind of, i don't know, if you do your own loop and it leaks, well it's yours to blame, if an aio loop leaks, then it's a double whammy since it's potientially gonna break stuff plus it's probably not your fault.

Cant go wrong with a Noctua cooler. The NH-D14 can perform as well if not better than some aio's.

Personally NH-D14 or NH-D15, but there are other good models out there which can look more appealing.

I was in the exact same boat. I had an AIO that was loud and lower performance than I wanted. I swapped to a Noctua NH-D15 which BARELY fits in my case, but with both fans at minimum it's easily performing better than the 240mm AIO I had previously, with lower noise.

 

I have a 6700k at 4.6ghz. Load temps are around 75 with a vcore of about 1.28.

Budget, case and RAM please. @WoodenMarker's list is good reference, but without knowing your specs we can't give more direct suggestions. For example D14 only works with low-profile RAM or RAM without heatspreaders. Some coolers like U14S and Dark Rock Pro 4 only fit to cases which have 165mm or more room for coolers.

155mm high Scythe Mugen 5 would be likely biggest with zero DIMM/PCI-e slot clearance issues and matching cheap compact AIOs in performance/noise.

(and very well priced)

If you can work with some of those clearance issues and case has space for higher heatsinks then there are still more powerfull ones.

70c isn't toasty. You're fine up to 80-90c at load.

What case and ram are you using?

Can you link us to where you're shopping? What's your budget?

lol bro...70 degree isnt very toasty for a full load (are we talking about idle temp? If yes, then that is wwaaayyy too toasty). My I7 3770k runs at 4.5 at 85celcius at load. Sometimes even up to 88. My h100i v2 is serving me okay. (I wish I could fit a huge ass noctua air cooler but I have an mitx case) Do not go with an AIO. Get a noctua d15 I think or the biggest noctua you can find. That is slightly better than AIO and the parts are completely replaceable.

That means that pretty much everything fits. Well, Cryorig R1 Ultimate doesn't. But you have Dark Rock Pro 4, Noctua D15, R1 Universal from high-end dual towers. Tad lower on scale and you have all 140mm towers. Check the linked tier list or some review graphs. But with those specs its pick-what-you-want-to-pay.
