best aio liquid cooler

[Bellaziciao]

as title suggest, I'm searching for the best aio liquid cooler, any advice?!

[haihane]

isn't that very subjective though?

if it works, and it fits, and lasts a damn long time. it's a good AIO.

[Bellaziciao]

ok, i agree, but i'll buy one, and i appreciate a suggestion

Do you need it right away? I ask because EK are due to bring out EK-MLC which might be worth waiting for....says coming Spring....https://www.ekwb.com/shop/aio/ek-mlc

Maybe a Swiftech H240 X2 or Kraken X61 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-cpu-coolers,4181-2.html

I've had Corsairs (H100 and H80 series)... none of them lasted long... their pumps starts grinding in few months... - obviously I can just be unlucky...

I put a NZXT Kraken x52 into my latest build and initially loved it. Constant issues with their CAM software have me wondering now ...

I Never had issues with a Corsair AIO. I had the H80, the H100i V2 and a H110i
Only thing I do different is I don't use the stock fans, and the screws are mounted with rubber washers on the case.
Depending what I am doing I ether use EK or Noctua fans.

My advice is to save the $$ and go custom.

As I said, I may have been unlucky... - my problem was with their pumps, not fans... pumps started to make a grinding noise in all of my Corsair coolers in few months... maybe the usage (running high heat because OC'ing and benchmarking) or don't know...
Anyhow, just wanted to share my experience...

Only AIO I ever tried has a H100...leaked within a week...it's what got me into custom watrercooling...EK do some very good kits
