Hello once again people of toms hardware.

What is the best AIO water cooler for around $100 AUD?

Some graphs would be nice but not necessarily needed.

For $100 AUD, the best AIO you get is H75, but that isn't the best cooler for $100. The D14 will easily beat H75 in terms of cooling and quietness, so why not go with it?

PS: Id you really want an AIO, I'd consider the H100i or atleast the H80i, both of which are good performers, but simply out of your budget.

IMHO AIO for $100 ish is a waste of money. Air coolers for half the cost can provide realistically similar performance where as $150 loop kits can provide significantly more cooling performance than any AIO available.

Is there a performance difference between the D15 and the D14. If there is, is it worth the extra $20?

The difference is a couple of degrees and around 3-5C at most, nope, not worth the extra $$$.

The biggest advantage of D15 is more memory clearance and its wider than D14, but no D14 is the way to go for best value/money and otherwise too :)
