I have an CM Storm Stryker.
I have installed an i7-6700k in it aswell. I would like to know what people recommend of liquid cooling. Needs to be good and easy to install in it.

I have been looking on these liquid cooling (240mm.. i think it fits in cm storm stryker):
Corsair Hydro H100i V2
Corsair Hydro H105
Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 240

Which one should i choose? Or doesnt it fit in a Cooler Master Storm Stryker?

They will all cool your system about the same. The cm masterliquid pro has a cool plastic cover over the pump however I'm not a fan of their tubing.

The h100i v2 shows a much cleaner look with the soft black rubber tubing. The pump design is phenominal as well. This is the one I'd suggest going with.

What about an Cooler Master Nepton 240M, which one would you prefer for good cooling but still a bit silent..
And H100i v2 or Cooler Master Nepton 240M.

Would you still go for the H100i v2?

The Nepton does a better job in most cases keeping Temps down with a significant overclock on the cpu. Without a major oc the corsair would still be my pick for performance, durability and aesthetic.

They both are very close as far as performance with the 240M edging out just barely. About a 2C difference. It is a bit louder that the h100i so if you want to keep the system quiet and still get great performance the h100i would be the best.

Lastly as far as the warranty goes I've only ever had to call corsair once. On one of my older builds my H60 didn't perform like it used to after 4 years of use. They replaced it and the process was easy. Not sure about service or lifetime for CM. Another build of mine is going for almost 2.5 years with a CM 120mm Seidon. It's got some noise to it but it gets the job done.

There really isn't much difference between all of those boxed AIO coolers, to be honest. The pumps are typically 1 of 2 or 3 designs used for all brands and they all typically use aluminum radiators...a very few use brass rads.

Coolant flow rates are usually about 70-80% weaker and lower than what you'd get from a normal watercooling pump.

I have just read that the Nepton 240M is way more quiet than the h100i, it got alot lower dB in noise. And the 100i makes alot of noise.

But maybe i should get the h100i instead of Nepton 240. Its a bit hard to choose.

Honestly the case is going to make a big difference as well. You fans will likely be much louder than the pump also and it won't matter which one you get. I'd say just pick the one you like the most. They both are good Liquid All-In-One coolers.
