Liquid cooling

[Rem4rk4ble]

cant decide between deepcool captain 240ex and corsair h60. which one cools better?

Nothing a $30 air cooler can't do, lol

If that's even true (which is not) then why even recommend him waste space and money on a massive radiator? My H60 still works after running 24/7 for 6 years, more quiet than an air cooler (I sleep with the computer on) and keeps the CPU temperature around 50-60C when playing heavy games. And stays at 30C idle. It didn't even go above 70C when I stress tested it for 48 hours after an overclock. What more could you possibly need?
Wolfie is simply false with his statements. It seems like a radiator measuring contest is going on in here. Since when did H100 become the absolute minimum, lol?
I doubt OP cares about need to have an overkill "leet" gaming rig to brag about on the internet. It's needless money spending and something you should not have to save up money for, lol.
What's next? You're gonna tell him that he needs minimum 32GB of ram?

THIS.

Just upgraded, and swapped cooling from an Arctic Freezer Pro 7 to a Corsair H60 and the noise difference (or lack thereof) is considerable. Just using the pre applied thermal paste too, not evn broke out the Arctic Silver yet...

the loudest part in my PC is the pump of the NZXT Kraken x62 v2....

an AIO cant be more silent then an air cooler because in the end it is colling with fans too. just the placement of fans is somewhere else. The only real advantage of an AIO cooler is the look.

Technically if you go for the larger aio's they outperform any tower cooler, so280mm and up, the good 240mm ones match the big towers, but put less stress on the motherboard and look better.

I've ran aio's for years now, the oldest is my original 120mm h80 which has been running non stop for about 6 years, and I honestly cannot hear the pump, mind you, it is in a quiet case.
The h100i on another pc again I can't hear the pump, it's no louder than the fans, you can change the pump speed which can help if you can hear it, down isn't always quieter, on my new custom open loop, the pump is quietest at 4000rpm oddly (d5).

Liquid coolings main benefit is the far more effective transfer of heat, however, this only really helps if you have a big enough radiator with good fans.

The deepcool aio's are the only aio's I've come across horror stories of them failing and leaking, so I would avoid them, Corsair is about to launch a new 360mm aio the h150, with an actual new asetek pump that should be very good.

But f you don't mind a bit more effort, going for ek's fluid a240 costs around 140, gets you the custom loop look and can be expanded to cover gpu or extra radiators f you want in the future.

honestly look or size isnt an issue, and as was mentioned above this isnt an overkill pc, if it was id be getting a threadripper but god knows i cant afford that. I'm just looking for something i can use to keep the cpu within its operating range if i OC it around .3 - .5 Ghz. I'm not looking for the ultimate cooling system, just something that reliably suits my needs, otherwise id use liquid nitrogen.

Then an aio is a waste of money, a good air Cooler can get a ryzen cpu to its architecture's max clock

Did you upgrade from the loud Hyper 212 masterrace to H60?

are there any aircoolers you could suggest for my application?

They're not even a real brand, its just oem crap from China. No brand standing or warranty backing, avoid.

Buy quality; like Corsair, EVGA, NZXT

And unless you really need it, a $20 air cooler usually will provide the same amount of cooling as most overpriced AIO-LQs

A brand doesn't mean quality and not using the same solution as most others doesn't necessarily mean it's worse.

I would had gone 280 mm though.

the build is gonna have a full tower, corsair graphite 760t

[King_BR0K]

Noctua NH-D15, Cyrorig R1 Universal or BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3
As suggested above

[Aliquis Freedom & Ethnopluralism]

There's a new BeQuiet cooler. Maybe it was called 4. Check it out.

The Noctua NH-U12 easily cool i7 8700K with no OC so .. depending on whatever you care about OC or weight on the motherboard or height of the cooler and so on ...

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yea; Noctua NH-U12 easily for such a CPU as 1800X
No need to spend the $ on any AIO types or the ridiculous costly ones that AKing1 suggested.

i have decided instead to do an h150i pro. going balls deep in this one. also ive decided to use the thermaltake core x9 cube case instead of the 760t
