aio for ryzen 2600?

[halblah]

Im looking for an AIO for my Ryzen 2600(i will be overclocking), and these two caught my eye, which one do you guys think is better?

thermaltake floe riing 240 rgb: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wXx9TW/thermaltake-floe-riing-rgb-240-tt-premium-edition-423-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cl-w157-pl12sw-a

NZXT x52: https://www.amazon.com/Kraken-Liquid-Cooling-System-RL-KRX52-02/dp/B06XWYY83S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1533844818&sr=8-1&keywords=nzxt+kraken+240

 

Or do you guys have any other suggestions? Basically im looking for an aio with rgb like the ones on NZXT krakens on the cpu block.

 

Thanks everyone.

I would go with NZXT X52

Corsair’s H100i Pro

H240x v2 IMO

H220x v2  if you you can't fit the 280mm

is worth a look.

The h220x is about .2 c within the x61 which is 280mm rad vs the 220x being a 240mm.

 

On top of that the H220x is an expandable AIO.. so you can add another rad and gpu to the loop at a later time if you wanted.

By the way, those aren't AIOs, they're CLCs. True AIOs will cost more $200+ range, but will save you more in the long run.

whats the difference?

[Gedgn]

I don't recommend CLCs mainly because of low quality parts; fans, pumps, galvanic corrosion and leaks.

 

Point of failures:

Pumps - A good percentage of CLCs don't have quality pumps.

Galvanic corrosion - Most CLCs have aluminum radiators, as opposed to copper.

Leaks - Like in any water cooling system, there is the risk of leaks. However, just like how the pumps are not well built, there is the risk of leaks. You aren't getting top quality fittings or tubing most likely.

 

The benefit of CLCs over Air coolers are next to none at this price point. Air has better performance to noise ratio than CLCs. With True AIOs your point of failure is much lower, but that comes with a big price tag.

 

CLC = Closed loop cooler

 

I'll be posting a more in depth article on this hopefully soon.
