Fractal design define r5 3x be quiet pure wings 2 140mm 7volt (today im gonna hook them up to my nzxt zentry 2 fan controller, since my mb with my old 4 pin fans couldn't get lower than 650 rpm= not being able to run them at any of the rated rpm that was down to 200-300 and up to 1200rpm,at 5 volt my new be quiet 3pin fans are quiet,atm i use the case fan controller rated at 5,7 and 12 volt)

Asus pro 970 gaming/aura, a fx 8300 at 4.2ghz and a Noctua Nh-d15 standard rpm (ai suite 3) is with high voltage idle 1.368-1.380 and load 1.332 volt (140-150watt) around 500 rpm and is quiet and load (prime 95 small fft) is around 900-100 rpm not loud but noticeable,but it's only at max load so i won't reach that speed,noise under 100%, unless it's summer

My limited is 4.2ghz, not because of my cpu or mb, but because of temps

Because i want to run the cpu at 4.3,4,4 or 4.5ghz (felt 4.2ghz made a difference compared to 4.1ghz in games) i would like to have some surgestions for a serious cooling for my fx 8300,i do run it with no power saving enabled so it's power all the time on all cores

How much difference is there between a expensive aio and a cheap LCL who starts at the price of a corsair h105/h110i and what is the best best cheap aio/lcl cpu cooler for less than 135$,145€
 
Solution
You're aiming for low noise & low temps ??
A 240mm rad won't give you that mate, you already have one of the best coolers in the business for that.

Rads are inherently noisier by design because they need high static pressure & reasonably high rpm to push air through the radiator .

If you must have one then the h110i or kraken x52.
