Which of these AIO Liquid CPU cooler would you recommend?
Planning to get an AIO Liquid CPU cooler for my i7-3770. Which of these would you recommend? I only chose coolers that fit my budget. I'm looking for performance but with rgb is a bonus Thanks.

1.ID Cooling Frostflow 240L
2.ID Cooling FrostFlow+ 240
3.Segotep WC Halo 240 BL
4.Deep Cool DC Maelstrom 240 RGB
5.Deep Cool DC Gammaxx L240 DP-H24RF-GL240RGB
6.CM Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 240 MLX-D24M-A20PW-R1

None of those are good enough to really make them worth their price. An aircooler cheaper than them will have similar if not better cooling capability.

i7-3770 is not overclocking CPU, pointless to mess with AIO when $20-35 air cooler is plenty and then some.

I'll have more (clearance)issues when those air coolers have massive heatsinks though.

You can just get some ~30-40$ fairly small aircooler and there won't be any clearance issues.
The 3770 isn't a hot cpu and it's not overclockable so you don't need much cooling.

Cryorig H7, it has only 145mm high heatsink and fits into pretty much any case. Cools just as good as 160mm high heatsink coolers.
For non-overclocking CPU like yours even the Cryorig M9i with 125mm high heatsink would be enough.

This works really well on my old 3770k with a small overclock

none, use the stock cooler
3770 cant be overclocked, no point of using anything better

Of course they can be overclocked as long as he has a Z-Motherboard. He just can't do it through the multiplier if he has a non-K.

non k cpu cant oc via cpu multi
https://ark.intel.com/products/65719/Intel-Core-i7-3770-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3-90-GHz-

might be able to bring the fsb to 102-103 for a small oc
disabling turbo you can set the multi to 39, which would result almost 4ghz
imho, not a oc worth risking killing the cpu or board

you not killing the board with it... its absolutly safe as every overclock when you do it right.
i7-3770 non-K can overclock to 4.5-4.7GHz on Air/AIO/H2O.

PS: Btw the locked multiplier really happend with Skylake, Befor it was limtied to a certain value. For the 3770 non-K it was locked to somethign ebtween 41 and 43 if I remeber correctly.
