AIO coolers now £450!

[Darujhistan]

The World has gone mad.

I bought a £40 reconditioned one, (Corsair) off OCUK in 2011, only swapped it out in 2019 because it would not fit AM4.

Im currently using a corsair H115i which is 4 years old, i also have the H100i which it replaced in another system and thats still working fine and thats 10 years old.

Corsair H50 from 2009 still trundling away. Outlived the original i5 750 CPU which I replaced with a i5 760 for £5 from CeX this year.

I want an LCD screen on my mouse now, c'mon ASUS, whats the hold up? thats got to be worth £600 +

Big uplift for a screen over the other Asetek AIO

Yep, 4K and 144Hz

 

[Dicehunter]

Do you need a TV license if you have one of these coolers?

Only in the UK, In actual 1st world countries you'd be ok.

I must be out of the loop, but why do you need a 3.5" LCD on your cpu cooler?

You must have missed this year's computex

They are putting screens on everything mate

Soon the fans in your pc will have screens on them

We are now in peak bling bling mode; it's like pump my ride but for PCs and we're putting screens on everything

Shocking really, pump will fail and it’s a throwaway item in a few years.

Just to correct you here, yea you could throw it away but generally these things use off the shelf pumps and you can just buy a new pump for $20 with free shipping from aliexpress and replace the pump yourself

Throwing an AIO cooler away because the pump died is like throwing an iPhone away because the battery died, like sure you could but it's much cheaper to replace the damaged part because it's easy to do

I dunno about that, the AIO for this thread and basically every AIO out there uses an embedded pump/block combo.

What AIO are you thinking of that's cheap to replace parts on.

 

[NoobCannon]

Lol ASUS.

 

[SpudMaster]

Could put together a custom loop including GPU for less than that!

I have an OLED screen on my steelseries.....most useless thing ever.

I've done it a few times now, usually get ganked by a group of them . It's funny watching them put out points why its worth the Asus tax.

Where might one find these groups? Reddit?

No, a much more decrepit place...

Definition of irony , a bunch of computer nerds running overpriced computer components trolling computer nerds buying overpriced computer components , just sayin

 

[random_matt]

Asus have been in the news plenty of times, yet people still buy their stuff. Don't tell any of their fan base that this is made by Asetek.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

Cuz ya cant afford a monitor after buying this cooler?

 

[TangoEchoAlpha]

Everyones spunking over it , it's like a really bad sausage fest.

Genuinely just spat my drink over my desk

 

[bob9oc]

It would be cheaper just to not fit a cooler to your CPU, let it burn out and buy another than this!
