AIO which is cheap

[Dinnerb0ne]

I found a cheap AIO cooler https://www.gearbest.com/cpu-cooler/pp_1277506.html?wid=1433363, at first I was skeptical about it but I found a review of it plus there is a half decent video also.(but it is of the 240mm vesion)

Should I buy this?

My systems specs are r5 1400 @3.ghz @1.35v

                                    msi b350 gaming pro

                                    gtx 960

                                    8gb ram

My stock wraith stealth cooler can't handle the overclock so I need to upgrade.

BTW the wc halo is the same as ICE cooling as mentioned in the video

Where I live the customer can return items within 14 days without having to give a reason. If that applies to you too just try it.

Honestly IMO you're better off with a good air cooler at that price. It's only an R5 1400 so a 240mm aio in any capacity is kinda overkill anyways.

I'm buying the 120mm aio the video is about the 240mm aio

Watching the video and reading your post...

 

I think if would be a decent risk to take. You will see performance gains in temps, but you aren't running a hot chip so that is all personal preference. You get the aesthetics of an AIO system and honestly at that price point you will be hard to find a better solution.

$60 for a generic AIO? Best off getting an AIO from Corsair, or better yet, a good air cooler from Be Quiet!, Noctua or Cryorig. The Ryzen 5 1400 doesn't need that overkill cooling.

A good air cooler outperforms most of 120mm aio and some of 240mm, my girlfriend has a 7500 plus a 212 evo and just ambient temperature dude its a crazy cooler, I have a nhd15 from noctua and only h115 or some aios can outperform 1º from 5º (if so) and my corsair fans from 760t does more noise than the cpu+psu+gpu so quieter than a nhd15 its hard to find , and with an evo 212 im pretty sure that outperforms almost all in price/performance

[Dinnerb0ne]

It is not 60$ it is 44$ plus no company ships to my country at a reasonable price, the cost of shipping the coolers is more than their cost

Dude experience-wise , i bought fast an aio because its trend , but for taking a cooler, puting and leting that till next manteniance (1 year or so..) dont pick an aio , and dont pick a cheap aio , aluminium radiators i can take , bad fans i can take , but all AIOs have the same weak spot , pump and pump blades , that could be noisy as hell can broke and leak , the main issue is pump , and i wont trust in any unknown pump (i dont trust in any aio pump)

 

Edit : when my aio was doing strange noises from pump or high sound i just told to myself fuck it and drive 1 hour to buy a nhd15  (cheaper and cooler)

but this is my only option, the other cpu coolers in gearbest are out of stock even though it says they are in stock in their website and the others don't support ryzen

it seems like your convinced by this product already...so why making this thread in the first place

personally i bought a cheap AIO from Raijintek a few years back (raijintek triton) and the pump died within 4 months of using it...so i'm done with those for a while.

 

Also, your CPU is a fair bit stronger than your GPU so if this is a gaming PC the money would be better spent on a GPU upgrade later instead.

My brother will go to college after a few months so I'll get to keep his RX 480

even that will not benefit from the CPU overclock in games...unless you game at sub 1080p resolution and aim for really high FPS.

I guess what i'm saying is: overclocking that CPU is absolutely pointless when paired with a low or mid range graphics card...so spending money on CPU cooling just to squeeze 100 or 200mhz more out of it is pointless...unless you do it strictly for aestetics purpose, or you think it's ''cool'' to have a water cooler on your CPU or something...but you need more RAM first...and maybe an SSD if you don't already have one...better case fans? my point is there are probably dozens of better ways to spend that money to improve on that entry level machine of yours.
