[SOLVED] I9 9900k cooled with ek a240 or x62?

[darwin29.j]

Hello I don’t know what to go with the kraken x62 or the water cooling kit from ek the a240
Thanks

The X62(280mm) at the minimum.

EK's A240 kit(240mm AIO) would be pushing it, and a definite no if you choose to overclock it.
A high end air cooler, like NH-D15, Dark Rock Pro 4, or Thermaltake Le Grand Macho RT would outperform the A240 at half the price anyway.

Kraken X72 would be better, but costs more, but I do not know if your case supports it.

360mm AIO(like the Kraken X72), or custom loop, anything lower than that won't cut it.
