Which cpu cooling from these would u choose?

Solution


Kraken X61 = Cheap CLC w/ an aluminum radiator and weak pump that provides about the same thermal performance as less expensive air coolers but to do that must be 4 times louder. I would not install this if it was free.

EK Predator 360 = Essentially an assemblage if individual custom loop quality components including copper radiator and for which the loop can be expanded to include additional radiators, water blocks, etc. Of the two choices resented, the only one worth investing in.

Swiftech H240-X2 = What I would buy instead of either of the above.... roughly the same cooling capacity as the EK 360 but at a much lower price.

The only relevant "spec" to these choices are whether the cooler supports the mounting (MoBo / CPU Socket) and whether your case can fit a 240 or 260mm radiator. Of course if you plan on opening the loop ....

... what water blocks you might want to add to the loop, knowing what on (GFX cards for example) what components you chose would.

... those components would also determine just how much radiator you needed to add to cool said components, and there again, your case comes into play.
