Not sure which AIO Liquid Cooler to get

[toon_mad]

I originally had the XSPC Raystorm EX280 kit I put in my PC, this was done for my first watercool build last year and at the time did not consider putting a valve on to drain the coolant. Well long story short after a few months I decided to sell it and go back to air, maybe in another year or so I will invest more time and money and do a proper custom watercool build.

The air cooler I have like most is covering the first ram slot (which in turn made me sell two sticks of ram pretty much at the same time I sold the EX280). As I decided to go for a AIO liquid cooler now I thought I may aswell fill the two empty ram slots.

Anyway, which AIO liquid cooler can any of you folks recommend? My tower is the Corsair 750D and it will be to cool my i7-4770K so like before, one with two 140mm fans to sit at the top will work well.

Looking at OCUK the usual names spring up, like:

Corsair Hydro H110 280mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair Hydro H110i GT 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX High Performance 280mm Liquid CPU Cooler

Of course there are probably more, those are just the first few that popped up on the website.

For style wise, I would prefer whichever cooler I go for to be able to change to colour of the center logo on the actual cooler bit.

Cheers

i would if you can go for the h110i gt i have it and love it (although doing custom loops soon so will no longer need it). you can customise the Centre LED to any colour, braided pipes and whole assembly itself looks very good and looks quality, Easily tucked cables to look tidy aswell.

Cooling wise its the best of the current AIO watercoolers, The fans are great although very loud at high rpm to move 110cfm! And pump speed can be quiet or extreme for better performance.

my current soon to change case is the 750d and the h110i fits perfectly inside with all my RAM slots fully accessible and useable. No problems with fitting anything in the case with the cooler and two fans on the top above the mobo.

Great stuff cheers

Im guessing installation for these things are just as easy as putting any type of cooler in?

Very easy to fit litterally screw fans to radiator then fit to case. Fit block to cpu and re-route cables. Fit usb header for Corsair link.

Very good cooler and looks good aswell. Cools very well my old 3770k could do 5.1ghz on it. 4.6ghz didnt even sweat while gaming in the low 50s.

Champion, sounds like an awesome little cooler cheers mate

Unfortunately my i7 hits a wall at anything more than 4.3Ghz so I wont be pushing it to the max. If anything I am just fed up of looking at air coolers

Running my i7 4820k @4.5ghz with a corsair h 110i GT with corsair 140mm so LEDs in push pull and I get about 23c idle and 45-50c odd while gaming.
