Cooler master evo 212<nzxt Kraken x62 aio

[maxipet050]

I recently bought and build my own gaming computer and I was wondering if I should upgrade it, probably not right now since it is brand new in the foreseeable future I'd like to make an upgrade for the general look of my pc, I currently have a cooler master evo 212 on my i5-8600k cpu and it's pretty cool but I was wondering if I should upgrade to a Kraken x62 from Nzxt, I already have the nzxt hue+ led's in my case and I love the rgb. 

Also I only have the two stock 120mm fans in the back of my case exhausting the air and I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy new/extra fans for the front of my case/radiator of x62 aio, what fans would you recommend for airflow/static pressure and which fans would be optimal in which locations of my case, thanks to anyone who comments.

 

Full Specs of my pc: 

case: nzxt s340 elite with two exhaust nzxt aer p fans

mobo: z370-a pro

ram: corsair vengeance 16Gb (2*8) @3000mhz

cpu: i5-8600k stock@3.6GHz 6 cores

cpu cooler: cooler master hyper 212 evo 

gpu: inno 3D 2x gtx1070 (not overclocked)

Drives: 2Tb Seagate hdd

            500Gb Crucial mx500 ssd

psu: seasonic 650Watt focus plus gold

peripherals: nzxt hue+ rgb led strips

You mean like buying 2 more fans for your rad so you have push pull?

I guess so, I'm not sure if I'm going to get the aio yet thats why I asked, what fans would you recommend and would it be better to have push/pull on my air cooler instead ?

you should use noctua fans for best performance, but they are expenisve. push/pull config is good but i dont think its worth to buy more fans. Plus if you are planing to get more fans cause you dont want the fans to ramp up on speed, the water pump is loud as shit.

I've been looking at fans a lot and I like the look of the corsair ml fans they're great performance wise and look way better than Noctua fans, also they're always really quiet, I don't plan to make it a quiet build since I already have an inno 3d gtx1070 with a custom fan curve that gets pretty loud fast, but thanks for the comment.

There's no real reason you would need to do that unless you overclock.  A 212, while ugly as hell and not the best cooler in the world, is going to keep your temps in check.  If you overclock that will quickly go to hell in a hand basket.

Here's a good review of a lot of recently made AIO coolers.  Most of these perform within a couple degrees of one another, so your main reasoning to picking a certain AIO should be use case.  Quietness versus raw performance, cost, etc.  The X62 Kraken is a very expensive AIO, just saying.

I did overclock my cpu to a measly 4.8ghz at 1.300volts so maybe I need it, could you link me the review ? or where to find it please ?

[Shrepto]

4.8ghz is still a decent overclock for a 212.  Did you stress test it?  A 212 probably cannot handle 4.8ghz.

Also I thought I linked it but I didn't, sorry.

I ran cinebench multiple times and the 212 keeps up pretty good, my cpu never exceeded 70°C and most of the time when gaming it doesn't exceed 40°C
