Can i use an intel aio for ryzen?

[andrewdelacruz2004]

I am planning to buy an an intel cooler. Can i use this to my ryzen apu? The aio comes with an am4 bracket. Can i use it to my apu? I have an msi b450 pro m2.

An Intel AIO? The few "Intel" branded AIOs that were released years ago were Asetek units (and were even branded as so).
Provided you have the AM4 bracket for it, there's no reason it wouldn't work.

BUT, given the relative age of "Intel" AIOs (launched in 2013-14 IIRC), and the fact they're basic 120mm offerings AFAIK.... I can't see it being a great solution.

How much difference is there with the cooling with a 240mm or 120mm radiator size?

As the only variable, it's impossible to say definitively.
120mm vary in quality, as do 240mm's.

Generally speaking, a 240mm will have a noticeable improvement on temps vs a 120mm, but there's too many variables.

What coolers are you considering, specifically?

I have never heard of "upHere Technology" and, while that's not a definitive reason to rule it out..... it's probably a good indicator.
Can't find any legit reviews of the unit. For an unknown player to be able to sell a 240mm in the $60 range, they'll have cut corners in more places than one.

No mention of warranty etc, which is a huge red flag for AIOs.

While that 240mm might outperform the EVGA 120mm, it's not worth the risk IMO.
