AIO for 5800X

Alex Wong · 13 Aug 2021 at 14:27

I have NZXT X63 RGB 280mm and Corsair ICUE H150i Elite Capellix 360mm. I need to pick one for my 5800X. Which one has better cooling performance? Your suggestion is anticipated.

Arctic cooling Freezer II 360mm.

Sorry. I have to pick either one of them.

Moreover, my PC case is fit to install 360mm radiator at the front ONLY with tube sides up but allow top mounting for 280mm. This is another factor to concern.

I've got a 5800x on a Corsair H100i top mounted blowing out and have no issues at all with temps. Usually sits around 40 while I'm working and ~70 while gaming.

Only issue I have with the Corsair is the iCue bloatware.

Oh I see. Now I am using X63 RGB for my 5800X and it has reading of 31-32C on Ryzen master for 5800X in ide. But I felt hard to switch to H150i Elite Capellix.
My PC case fits 360mm radiator at the front ONLY with tube sides up but allow top mounting for 280mm. This is another factor to concern because tube sides up is not a best orientation but it is doable if at least I kept the pump downward the tube side of the radiator. If H150i have better performance, I may try it.

One question for you've got 40C idle, did you mount it at the top?
Second question, did you use dust filters to cover the radiator. It affects performance as filter blocks the heat to release.

It's not 40 idle, it's 40 while I'm working. I've got numerous things open - just nothing especially intensive. One plus for the corsair is you get the water temp as well as the core temp. My water temp is currently 33.

My case would also fit a 360 rad at the front. Based on the water temps I get, I don't think the additional fan / radiator would make much difference.

I've got a dust filter on the front intake fans. The top mount radiator blows out, so no need.
