Hyperstrike Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 This is NOT really a "recommended" brand. This is more of a better fit for your use case. 1: In short, this platform is for Intel based units, using the Arctic brand coolers. Pretty much ANY of the cooler units will work fine. (temperature spread is a couple degrees.) Also, in terms of power draw are about 10w different between a 2 fan setup and a 3 fan setup (note: Small differentiation based on 120mm fans vs 140mm fans. In terms of price of this brand is the TINY cost spread ($90-120). Between the 240 and 420mm units s $28 (twenty eight). That's disgustingly cheap. The point is, if you're looking to stabilize your system out, it's cheaper than it's EVER been before.   1 If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

Hyperstrike Posted August 17, 2024 Author Posted August 17, 2024 I've had ONE leak. On a "DIY" style AIO that's meant to be refillable and expandable. At the time, it was the largest radiator available That and I expect the technician was trying to pad my bill. Cooked my CPU and motherboard. All the AIOs not mean to be refillable? They're good for 10-15 years BEFORE EVAPORATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. And again, on an AIO that is around $90-120, that's a good deal (ammortized)  3 hours ago, WanderingAries said: I'm always fearful of leaks. 😕  If you want to be godlike, pick anything.
