Alphacool's Core Ocean T38 240 mm all-in-one liquid cooler dominates the closed-loop competition in value. But more importantly, it also delivers strong performance on Intel systems, making for an easy choice if you want to tame a hot processor without lighting your wallet on fire.

How does the Lian Li Galahad perform so well? What's its secret?

Wish more companies would release thicker radiators with their AIO coolers...I'd buy a 38/40mm thick 360mm AIO right now if it was available...I'd even be interested in looking at a 60mm thick one

The very solid and affordable (and performant!) Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II series is 38mm thick.
 
Hi,
Looks like they are having fun with naming :cool:
 
Sucks that they still use that crappy backplate design for Intel platforms. Otherwise just as solid as Alphacool products in general.
 
There's no quick release on this, unlike most other Alphacool sets. This is a budget AIO in more ways than just using an aluminum rad.
 
Price is good and Alphacool is finally using the proper framed fans. But a 2-year warranty on an AIO is unacceptable, especially when LFII is also wicked cheap and has a warranty 3x as long.
I wonder if this unit is manufactured by Alphacool or if they outsourced it. Better not be Apaltek.
 
Hi,
Yep missed the two year warranty nonsense WTF :eek:
 
Arctic Liquid Freezer II stays winning with best price to quality/performance ratio and no tacky rgb
 
I am looking for a new AIO, because the current one is loud. But not the ventilator part because is use Noctua fans on it, instead the pump part. I am looking for the one with quiet pump. Here reviews listens only fans, which is unrelevant.
