Hello, I've got a Corsair Carbide 400C case and a ryzen 7 1700.
I want to get an AIO Cooler to OC. Stock is fine and it is very pretty, but temps here are not so good. I've got it to 3.6 @1.2V and on heavy load temps reach 70 - 75C so that's the maximum I can go with it. I wanted to get to 3.8-4.0.
The reason I'm going for water are aesthetics (pc is right next to me on the table, so I see the interiors all the time), and because the prices for good air coolers here are way off. Also they are hard to find for some reason. There's only one Noctua model that costs as much as one of the 240MM AIO`s Ive seen. So, for the price, I think that a 240mm AIO cooler might perform better. Also, I like the comfort that theres no weight over the motherboard everytime I need to move the case (cleaning and such).
So my case has a 240mm space up, 280mm in the front and 120mm in the back.
The three options I have are:
120mm exaust H80i - R$450
240mm top exhaust CoolerMaster 240V (non-pro) - R$350
280mm corsair intake H110i on the front. - R$ 650
I`m ok with paying more if I'm getting durability, but for reference, the Ryzen 7 1700 cost me R$1000.
So, all 3 are nice, the best value apparently goes to the CM 240v, but corsair has that corsair link that makes controlling the fan profiles better and some other stuff and they are also a little prettier but thats not all that important.
Performance wise the h110i is the best but I'm worried that putting it as an intake migh increase the case temps too much, although I'm not sure how much and I couldnt find this kind of test anywhere. And also the case seems to be designed to support this by corsair so I maybe it's not that big of an issue?
At the same time I read that the filter on top hurts the performance of exhaust and also that the 120mm fan on the back steals air from the pump if you place the cooler on top so maybe I need to remove both to get best performance.
The best fit space wise would be the h80i I guess but it's more expensive than the cm's cooler and probably performs worse.
Room temps are around 20-25 but can get to 30-32 during summer (now hehe)
Witch one do you think I should get and why?
Im limited by those options. Kraken is not sold anywhere and is too expensive.
Thanks.
