Hello folks, hope you’re doing well. Recently my Hyper 212Evo started increasing the CPU temperatures (i5 6600k) and im thinking getting a new AIO, i will also upgrade CPU to a 8700k. Which AIO would be the best the Corsair or Kraken ?.

Both are equally good, the X52 is definitely the most beautiful looking, but is also pay more for the extra bling. I personally have the Corsair H100i V2 (upgraded the fans to maglevs though) and it keeps my 1700X cool.

Again, both are good, Corsair gives more bang for buck while the X52 is all about the bling.

Exactly, x52 sounds like pay $$ for a better look, anyways the Corsair H100i v2 at my city ( New Jersey ) comes about 110$ meanwhile, the x52 comes about 155$. Thats 45$ more for a good looking PCB. I think i will be going with Corsair because their customer service is incredible meanwhile NZXT do not even answer your DM’s. Where can i puchase Maglev fans tho ?

The temperatures are pretty similar, only really a couple of degrees difference between the two. As stated, you pay more for the Kraken because of the RGB. Most people prefer the H100i because of the value, but you can't go wrong with either of the two.

It should be stated that the Kraken has more reports of it being DOA or breaking relatively quickly, although this alone is a rare occurrence. Take that as you will, it depends on your priorities.

You don't need the maglev fans to get better performance, the stock fans are just as good as the maglevs, only reason why I got the maglevs is because they run a lot quieter.

You can get them at any major retailer. Their the Corsair ML series of fans.
