240mm AIO advice?

jarvis82 · 2 Dec 2017 at 16:50

I'm going to be moving my system into a Raijintek Thetis case.

I'd like to replace my NH-D14 with a 240mm AIO cooler. When I last had an AIO, the choices where Corsair, Corsair, or Corsair. Now there are countless options, so I'm a bit lost.

Any clear favourites in the 240mm size?

Thanks.

Corsair haha

The NZXT Kraken series are very well reviewed, especially if you like fancy RGB LEDs. It comes in 140mm, 240mm and 280mm sizes.

There are a couple of other manufacturers producing AIOs but most of them are based of the same Asetek parts as the Corsair and NZXT units. You can shop around for all copper radiators rather than aluminium but I don't believe it makes all that difference with an AIO. Most of the time you're better of replacing the stock fans for something quieter.

Corsair do have great customer support,my H80 died and they sent me a H80i and they covered the postage.

I'd consider the Fractal Celcius S24. It's quiet, and subtle too, I know RBG is in at the moment but for those that like subtle the Fractal is ideal, there's also less cables to connect, and a fan hub located on the radiator so great cable management.

a lot of AIO's are made my asetek so are the same pump and rad. the choice comes down to the fans and any RBG/LED they have on them.

I've got a cryotech A40 ultimate 240x38.5 for the CPU and an asetek 570 LXL for the GPU (kraken G12)

push/pull fans on both worth about 5C. also comes down to how much you want to spend. There are a few that sport copper rads as well as heat plate like the Fractal design kelvin series.
