AIO recommendations!

Kyuuba · Mar 21, 2017

Bro if you want to try something new, try the MasterLiquid series from Cooler Master, I have the NZXT Kraken X61 but changed it for the MasterLiquid Pro 280 due to the buggy CAM software that sometimes closes in the background leaving temperatures unattended, you may want to avoid software controlled AIOs as they rely on Windows, opted for this Bios controlled one and it's perfect, although fans are loud as hell.

Edit: @SanityGaming The fans apart from being PWM they have a small switch with 3 profiles, Quiet, Standard and Performance that sets a limit on RPMs without loding the PWM capabilities in Bios.

I'll do some research on this, thanks for the information.

Have you made your selection yet?

Not yet,

The ones I mentioned have higher static air pressure, that number
e.g. CoolerMaster fan Q Mode (Quiet)
3.15 mmH2O ± 10%

The higher the better radiator cooling, but yeah louder.

Imo CoolerMaster or Noctua Industrial are the best, just adjust it with fan control pwm in bios.

Oh okay cheers,
Question, when it comes to Fans what should i be looking at when it comes to Fan "specs" for example, what on earth does this mean m³/h
And what on earth is the difference with these 2!
NF-F12 industrialPPC-24V-2000 IP67 PWM
NF-F12 industrialPPC-2000 IP67 PWM
They both have the same specs!

I understand RPM faster the fan is, db/a is the sound and H20 as you stated i'm guessing higher the better the cooling! It's been over 4 years since i studied science!

I can say that my current Liquid Freezer 240 is a really good AIO option, it is definitely better than the Corsair H80i GT that I had before. It only costs 73£ on amazon.co.uk

H80 is a single rad, 240 is a double, sure the 240 would be better HA!, i just need to see how it competes with the h115i, or something or ekwb, or what other stuff people have spoken about, getting mixed pumps here HA!,

I just want to get whatever is the best! has the best reviews, and i have to look at warranty.
as I think i stated in a previous post I have an I7 5960X 4.2ghz., so i can't just use some puny cooler, has to be good.

@peche mentioned the Thermaltake's water 3.0 extreme which have a 240mm slim rad, dual Fans, and the same pump

SanityGaming said:

At least maybe you could pair some of the afore mention pressure fans to tailor the loudness and still get best air flow. Just remember the trade off of quiet for ore air.
Some where I read in a recent fan shootout 1 was better with the rad than off...

NF-F12 industrialPPC-24V-2000 IP67 PWM

It's a 24 volt commercial fan Some used in Defense projects. ie... fire control system

m3/h is how much air it moves in a cubic meter per hour. Higher the better, for Aio h2o its better they have higher pressure then air flow.

Why 120mmm, it won't fit on H110, no? I listed that industrial 140mm before.

And as Revin said 24V is

The 24V variant uses a dedicated wide input range version of Noctua's NE-FD2 motor driver IC in order to support 24V-based industrial applications.

EDIT: ah I listed 24V too before

, here is 12V variant
http://noctua.at/en/products/product-line-industrial/nf-a14-industrialppc-2000-pwm/specification

If you limit them to ~ 1300-1500rpm for less noise its still more mm H₂O then default notcua 1500rpm at same rpm.

well, sometimes a single 120 rad could outperform a 240 double rad, the thing is about how dense rad's fins might be, also how big the waterpump be and finally, the fans on a AIO are the ones that make the difference, my current 120mm single rad bassed AIO outperforms corsair's H100 & H110i, i have done the comparison with some friends and computers, just to see how our AIO's do,

Agreed, it comes with the same fans, tubing and integrated pump / waterblock combo, but a single thickness 240mm dual rad, performs great, but the single 120mm performs exactly the same or even better,

Well I never know that! Another reason I created this thread was in hopen I could get better insight into such things and now I'm mind shocked a single rad destroys dual rad in temps. Maybe I shouldn't judge a cooler by the size and what I hear and see from Google.

well, not everyone does research and comparison from other sites, when i was about to purchase this unit i did researched for moar information about, at the moment i was looking for a solid 120mm single rad based AIO, i was considering Corsair's H80 or H80i unit, then saw several comments about that specific unit leaking, decided to look some CM's options, and got several negative messages about pump and tubing, never stopped lurking arround, after several brands i did came to the always trustable Tt product line up, water series, liked a lot Water 3.0 extreme, but my case at that moment was not able to use 240mm rads, decided to give a try to this brave soldier,

some time later i did replaced the stock wonky fans with new Thermaltake's Riing 12 fans, silent despite being connected to molex directly !
