Question Calm my fears of a possible AIO leak ?

[Wonderclam]

I just built a new rig, shown on my sig. I have a Peerless Assassin cooler, but I hate the fan noise when it gets loud

So I ordered a Thermalright Frozen Prism 240

Im worried its gonna leak and destroy my new expensive gaming rig

100% "calm your fears".....replace the AIO with a good air cooler.

There may be other solutions to the fan noise.

Please include specs in your post. Not everyone (including myself) has specs enabled.

As long as the aio is installed properly and not damaged in anyway it won't leak that's extremely rare. I've never used thermal right so only going of deep cool which I trust more.

Doing your own DIY water cooling always a potential chance at least.

I use
Ls 520 deep cool it's been solid I have it mounted in the top of my case. Never mount them in the bottom of the position in your case only in front or top.

The pump is located in the block so the radiator must always be in a higher position then the pump.

I also have not had any issue with AIO over a number of years, even past what is commonly cited as safe (5 years). This could certainly be an aspect of how quality a unit. At least in times past, many of the AIO were pretty much the same unit, for sure often the same pump, and worked very similarly and reliably.

Air cooled rigs can tend to be a lot noisier but that can depend a lot of what fans, what control type, case fans as well as the type of case. Also, where the case resides in relation to your seating position.

I am not terribly familiar with Gigabyte BIOS, but check on the section where you control your fans for something like "smart fan" or an option like fan tuning. In most cases where you are looking for as quiet as possible with powerful hardware there is going to be a trade off for heat threshold as well.

Yeah I already got the fan settings throttled down to have RPMs lowrler than the "Quiet Mode" option

I got the fan speeds to 45% until it hits 80C then it goes up to 90% speed

I got Be Quiet! Fans, I got 2 in the front sucking in, one in the back pulling air out

The Thermal Right Peerless Assassin is one of the top rated CPU air coolers out there from Gamer Nexus. Same brand as the Frozen Prism AIO I just ordered

Yes, the Assassin is considered a good unit for the price. I am not familiar with its fan noise on a personal level.

I recently got a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 and have been astounded at how quiet it is, but also have had to make concessions about what I considered an acceptable temp on idle and under load. On the fans you have it may have a lot to do with which version and top speed they can attain.

It may depend a lot on your own perception of the noisy part. Can you tell that it for sure is the Assassin cooler? If so you might look into replacement fans for it. They are a standard size.

Ok, I got it installed. I didnt' plug in the RGB stuff. I hate RGB lighting.

so far no leaks and its pretty quiet

highest temp ive seen so far is 57, before it was 71
