Which AIO to get?

[Marinooben]

I want to get a AIO and i have looked at the CM Nepton series.
I know that bigger is better but the CM Nepton 140XL is $49
And the 280L and 240M $109.
Should i get the 280L or the 140XL?

If you are looking to get something that will give you better thermal performance at a given price range, no CLC type AIO made can do that.

As you can see here.... the CM 240L has to by 8 times louder to beat the much cheaper ($82) air coolers by just 1 C

So it comes down to why you are buying it....

If you just don't like the look of air coolers, then a CLC is you best option.

Ya might want to look at the new rajintek which is cheaper and has some nice features.

Personally, I can't recommend any CLC because of the weak pumps and aluminum rads .... water based AIOs w/o these limitations however are expensive Swiftech H220-X io 4140 and H240-X is $150
