G'day Everyone, Didn't really know where to post this one. In your opinion(s), what is the best AIO liquid cooler. I currently have a NZXT Kraken X61, which is doing a fairly good job at the moment. What (if any), would be a better AIO cooler - i know the Kraken X62 just came out. I mean, my temps never get above 73-75 degrees, and I believe 80 degrees is the threshold. All suggestions noted. Would like to push my 6700K to 4.8 if possible. Thanks for all of your time. Cheers.
Forgot to add: Benchmark 100% load gets to 76 degrees, when gaming get around 65 degrees if this helps.
Corsair H100i GTX My corsair keeps my 5960X OC'd to 4ghz with the Cache at 4ghz W/HT enabled at 28-30 at idle. At full load I climb up to 75C. Ram is rated at 3ghz, I am running it at 2400 with a Cas latency of 13,15,15,28. I cant stand the corsair Link software and I plug my fans into my MB and not into the breakout cables included in the package. I have a push pull configuration with Noctua fans keeping things quiet even at full loads (pwm config)
Nothing you'll buy will be worth the time and effort(unless its a real water setup) You're better of deliding if you want a huge drop in temperatures.
What is the best AIO cooler? A simple question should be answered with a simple answer , and that answer is: http://www.swiftech.com/h320x2prestige.aspx#tab2
I had the Swiftech H320 X2 Prestige cooling my CPU and Video cards for about 6 months. No leaks. Great cooling and dead silent. I decided to try a custom loop using EK rad pump res etc. etc. and I can see NO DIFFERENCE in temps or pump and fan noise. If my new loop is any better, it may be by 2 or 3c. I honestly, and highly recommend Swiftech AIO units. Other than to satisfy my curiosity, I really had no need to go with a custom cooling set up.
