I have to say I am confused. At first, my only impression was, that Corsairs h100i GTX was the best choice (since it's their newest model, duh). After doing some deep digging I was told that the h110i GT was actually better.
Then I keep on digging and on many forums, people recommend other liquid cooling AIO solutions, such as the Cryorig A-Series (which I have never heard about), EK's Predator or NCXT's x61 Kraken. I found more about Coolermasters Nepton and Swiftech's H240X (which is a 280mm rad, despite its confusing name) as well.
I have to admit, it's really hard to get an overview about all of these. So I thought: Why not ask the community that has helped me so much once again?
My requirements
I have a Coolermaster Mastercase 5 Pro which is said to have space for a
My current motherboard is Asus' P7P55D and as far as I can tell, it only has 3 3-pin fan headers, all of which I currently have occupied. I would prefer NOT having to plug fans directly to the power supply, as Coolermasters Stock fans aren't the quietest anyway.
As for the cooler: RGB does not matter. Exchangeable asthetics stuff (such as coloured caps) do not matter. What matters is that it works, best would be silent.
I plan to get Asus' z170 Premium later on, if that is of any importance.
The budget
As I planned on getting the h110i GTX, my budget orients around that. Here in Germany, it is available for 135€ instead of the 185€ Corsair labels on their website (152 dollars/209 dollars or 106 british pounds/145 british pounds).
However I do not fear to spend a little bit extra or less (about 30 or so)
Summary
As this site's own guide couldn't help me pick a good 280mm AIO liquid cooler, I hope the forum people can.
Cheers
