i7 12700k best AIO for it?

[River]

Looking to buy a AIO for my i7 12700k right now with my LIAN LI PC-O12WX case. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811112559?Item=N82E16811112559

Would the 2 or 3 slots of the AIO replace my fans ?

Sorry I mean some of the best AIO systems for it please.

Does not have to be the best.



Also does anyone know if a AIO comes with new thermal paste ? Or does it not need it? Guessing it needs it again.

a custom loop

for an aio, get the biggest rad the case supports

AIO will have paste pre applied to the Pump that goes on the CPU. Clean all of that off and use a decent 3rd party paste.

For that CPU I'd look to get an AIO that uses a 360mm Rad

Been using a NZXT Kraken X73 - 360mm on m,y 12700K for a while now. Works well and is quiet. Fans were a little nosier than I would have liked, not too noisy just noisier than I expected. Switched them out with some BeQuiet Silent Wings......3 I think

Galahad II Trinity 360mm that comes with the uni fans. It comes with a tube of thermal paste and plastic films for easy spreading (I personally use MX-6 paste, and I just bought some Thermal Grizzly KryoSheets which I will be trying later).

MSI's AIOs are cheap junk, the V1 model was prone to fluid issues so I definitely wouldn't recommend the V2.

Corsair's LCD is an expensive gimmick and requires you to use iCUE to make use of it at all. But the unit itself is pretty good, but there are other good AIOs out there like Lian Li's Gallahad, Arctic's Liquid Freezer II, and EK's AIOs.

There is no best; there is preferred brand.
70-80% of all these AIO are using roughly the same pump.

Lian-Li or Corsair

No the Rad won't replace Case Fans. It will be required to put fans on at least one side of the Rad. So you will need to account for the Rad thickness with the Fans mounted to it.

Had an MSI one for a week. Went from a little noisy to loud enough that when I RMA'd it over the phone I didn't even need to move my phones mic closer to the PC. That was with the PC on floor under desk and me seated in my chair

All of the newer Corsair AIO are a bit pricey though.
Maybe get a slightly older version Corsair H150 to save some money.
