Best RGB AIO

I was wondering what you guys think the best rgb AIO cooling solution is for a ryzen 2700x. I was looking for something rgb to go along witht hte rest of the build. I have liked the look of some of the corsair AIO's, but am open to others. This would be going in a thermaltake core x5 which radiator options can be seen here:

Front: 1 x 360mm , 1 x 280mm , 1 x 200mm

Top: 2 x 360mm , 1 x 280mm , 1 x 400mm

Rear: 1 x 120mm , 1 x 140mm

Bottom: 2 x 360mm

Left / Right Side: 1 x 360mm

 

Any reccomendations are much appreciated!

kraken x62 (280mm) if you ask me, though the price is the downer.

I don't really have much experience with NZXT. Is this compatible with the "NZXT Hue" i believe it is. I was wodnering if there are any AIOs that are compatible with Asus Auras?

yeah i was going to buy that but then i wanted a 280mm aio, so i got the evga 280 clc 

Ive heard that the stock TIM comes in a tube so it doesnt dry up and is actually good.

NZXT products are the only products that are compatible with NZXT's "Hue" rgb lighting system.

 

For Asus Aura, refer to this link: https://www.asus.com/campaign/aura/us/Partners-and-promotions.html

 

However I would advise against most of those cheaper coolers

I've realized that a liquid CPU cooler is probably the dumbest thing to prioritize RGB with. The highest priority should be reliability, i.e., which manufacturer/AIO has the FEWEST reportages of leaks, etc.

Doing some research this looks to be Corsair. What does everything think of my new stance?

PFFT.

 

Forget an AIO, just do the following!

 

Pick up 6 - 360mm rads

Grab a d5/res combo unit

Pickup a cpu block of your choice

pickup a gpu block of your choice

 

Pickup either some UV tubing or UV fluid

Pickup some UV lights and maybe some RGB led strips.

Pickup some RGB Fans you will need 36-120mm

 

Now set those fans to an inaudible 400 rpm.

 

LOL as your have a completely silent pc that runs around a 3-5c DeltaT.

total cost: 6 rads: 330$

18 fans: 180$

a ton of cables: 50$

some fittings: 50$

RGB cpu and gpu block: 100$

fluid: 20$

led strips: 10$

Time: 4 hours

 

total cost: a shit ton

Maybe if you go cheap!
6 rads = 450-500

36 fans (push pull) ML120 RGB = $25-30 per fan so at $25 = $900

Tubing would be about 2 boxes at 25 per box for $50

Fittings would be up there about 8 per fitting and we need about 14 so about $115

RGB Cpu block = 80-120  call it $100

RGB glu block = $175

Fluid = 25x2 for $50

Led Strips = $40

Time = free

d5/res combo $150

 

Total cost = $2080

 

But this will last for several builds with the exception of replacing fans that die, a potential pump, and changing a gpu block... the rest will stay for a decade without issues.

 

You will get superior cooling power that is near silent. It will look beast and if you go hard tubing even better. Who cares about cost!

 

Or you could spend $125-200 on a boring AIO with some RGB lights on it.

OMG not cooler master's cheap stuff. They look good, but cooling performance is worse compared to the others and build quality is doubtful. Gamers Nexus broke their test sample because one of the liquid channels are right behind the screw hole for the fans. They just so happen to use a slightly longer screw, and the screw punched right through, leaking coolant everywhere.

Cheaper yes. Better, no. If you are spending the money to go custom then you don't cheap out on crucial components.

 

If he wanted to save money he would just drop 4 of the rads to cut the price by a huge margin and 2 360mm rads is more than enough for a cpu and gpu.

 

So -333 for rad cost

- 600 for fan cost

- 70 ish for fittings

-25 for tubing

-25 for fluid

-20 for led

 

= about $1005 total cost.

 

custom water isn't cheap, but imo it is worth it :-D.

thx for that info, so I'll stop recommending Corsair AIOs unless they are notceably cheaper than others.
