Hi form Bulgaria.
I thinking to change my 212 evo for AIO.
So here is the choices:
Cooler master Seidon 240V (new one not M) - 59 USD
ID-Cooling Frostflow 240L - 85 USD
Corsair H100i V2 (new one I hear new pump 5th generation from Asetek) - 138 USD
Corsair H110i GT - 143 USD

Here is my system:
CPU - Athlon II x4 860k - OC 4.2 (because over I hit thermal limit with 212) temps IDLE: 30-35C GAMING: 48-59C (depend on the game) PRIME: 68-70C
MB - Asrock fm2a88x+ killer
RAM - geil evo potenza 2133GHz 2x4GB
GPU - PowerColor R9 290 PCS+
PSU - 750W (I cant remember the name but is old BRAND used in SERVERS - the 750W is real power it is not China PSU)
SSD - A-data SX900
HDD - wd caviar black 500GB
all these in
NZXT H440
Fans - stock 4 fans (3 front 120 intake, 1 140 back exhaust) + 1 200mm Cooler master on top exhaust running 12V.

Now I hear Seidon have problem with pump (but the old one M model not V model).
I hear good about noise for the Seidon 240V and good temps.

Frostflow I don't know nothing about it.

Corsair they have good name worldwide maybe no need to say something to them.
Is the pump on 110i V2 different then the 110i GT ?
It's worth it high Price of the other products, or is just pay for Brand and LED ?

I need your advice please :(

Sorry for my bad English, I don't use it very often in my Country.
 
Solution
I would suggest get an better air cooler, like cryorig H7. That way you save bucks for your upgrade. The Athlon should show its age by now. Its like 7 years old platform.

I would absolutely spend the extra money on corsair. Not just paying for the name, they got the name by making quality products you can trust. THis is what is cooling your components and keeping them from dying, not something I would ever skimp on

EK Predator is good but is out of my budget.

swiftech h240 x2 there is no sell of product in my country
 


thats a shame--those are from proper watercooling companies with high quality components

not that i dont like corsair stuff i have corsair psu,mouse,mouse mat,memory and keyboard but their aio are not in the same ballpark quality wise as ek and swiftech
