[SOLVED] Which AIO Cooler Should I Pick?

[PowerJayz]

Hi, I am having a bit of a hard time choosing a new AIO cooler for my i7 8700K @ 5.0Ghz, my current Cooler master ML240R pump had stopped working and it had it is not under warranty. Now I am having a hard time choosing a new cooler, that can keep the temperatures of my i7 8700k @ 5.0Ghz under control and include a good RGB look. Also, my RTX 2070 is vertically mounted so I cannot use large air coolers.

I have been looking at several AIO's that seem to be a good option and are within my budget of £200 but I am not completely set on which one to buy.

Corsair H115i Platinum

EK-AIO 360 D-RGB

Asus ROG Ryujin 240 RGB

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360

Any opinions and information about the AIO’s listed or other suggestions that would be suitable will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360, partnered with Kryonaut

My 16core 3950X is cooled by it, max temp on stress test is 68 to 70c (manual 4.5GHz all core)

Gaming: 45C, Gaming + Streaming (x264 slow): 55 to 60c

Check my CPUZ below @ on-load at 4.175GHz all 16 cores

Either the EK or the Artic

Eidt the Corsair should also work or the Artic II 280mm I would avoid the Asus tax,

The thermal paste don't really matter what comes with it is fine.

4.5 all cores you sure about that since silicone lottery says this.

3950X 4.00GHz 1.162V 100%
3950X 4.05GHz 1.175V Top 92%
3950X 4.10GHz 1.187V Top 56%
3950X 4.15GHz 1.200V Top 19%

I gotta agree with the Kryonaut also Most of those coolers use the same pump and a Rad is a Rad so your choice should be looks and performance as far as what fans it comes with if their RGB or if the block is RGB. You really can't go wrong with any of those and it is just a aesthetics thing.🤷‍♀️💯🍩🤦‍♂️✝
