[SOLVED] Which cooling is better? X62 vs h115i vs Nh U12A

[phoonon]

hello , i was searchig on amazon and on youtube good cpu coolers , good aesthetics, performance ,price , the best!. But when i came up looking and taking this 3 different coolers, i didnt even know which one to choose. NZXT X62 is good but , at high rpm gets loud in comparison ti Nh u12a , but Nh u12a was the perfect one untiil i saw its colors. Even though it has great performance and corsair h115i is good cooler but first (as all aio coolers) it could leak and, its pretty expensive. So any helps? The case im using is H500i so also im a little afraid of not getting the right colors and look bad.


Pc specs:

Mobo: rog strix x470 f gaming
Ram: G.Skill Trident Z 3200mhz c14
Cpu: Ryzen 5 3600x
Gpu: Rx 5700xt
Psu : Evga supernova 750 platinum
Case:h500i
Cpu cooler: in decision...

If we were voting I'd go for the X62. I simply think it looks better than any cooler on the market. I thought the fans would be somewhat loud at first, but I wear headphones so I don't actually ever hear them. Even if I'm not wearing headphones, I don't think they are loud at all. I just turned on Prime95 and I could barely hear any fans.

What about CAM software and leaks?? also price / performan

If I were you I would get a high range air cooler just because it saves money and is more reliable, but if I had to choose, I would get an X62 just because it looks better.
I would get a Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi or be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4
Its very unlikely for an AIO to leak, but liquid will permeate and evaporate through sleeving, which means in a few years, the AIO will have less water in it and will have to be replaced.
Noctua does make black fans now, so you can replace the NH U12A's fans with black ones if you like.

Kraken X62 has the longest warranty in the market, 6 years. Plus, I've never heard of anyone's Kraken X62 leaking. I probably won't use mine past 6 years, at least not on a new expensive system anyway.

I don't really use CAM, but it seems to be okay.

i ended up loving my NH-12A, it cool my 3900x really good, those fans make 0 noise ( high or low RPM) these are just the best fans out there, also the materials and the premium feel of the product is really good. i used liquid metal between die and heatsink, idle temp is 38°C and max temp during stress test is 74°C.

Have you looked at the Cryorig R1 ultimate or universal

I bought the ultimate but replaced the front fan to a slim to clear my ram, making it he universal. Keeps my 8700k @ 5.1Ghz to 65*c
