AIO for 5800X3D

It's not necessarily overkill
Depending on any future cpu updates
But yeah more radiator space than currently required
But that equates to being able to lower fan speeds

That was my thinking and it should cover me for a couple of upgrades. Also, got it for a mega cheap price!

The Arctic 420 is installed and running great. I went with the splitter cable connected to my Commander Pro. It's pretty much silent and cpu temp is generally 50-55c

Good result

You won’t need an AIO - simple air cooler is fine.

yer, to second this ive seen a lot of reviews.. if you want quiet maybe the biggest 3 fan AIO's but other than that there is not much benefit

your both right but some people just want... ive not had an air cooler for 6 or 7 years. but my boy like how they look in the case so he dose..

because of this i can confirm a pa120 fixed at 800rpm can keep this CPU cool. but i had a h150 on the same CPU and it for me just looked better again both was silent but the h150 was cooler.
both under 70c max temp h150 was around 55c PA120 70c max temps with silent fan setting

I could have gone with air or a smaller aio, but I had the space for the 420 so thought why not.

It was easier to install than the H100i in my son's pc too.

Its nice and quiet and looks great too

Is this a triple design?

Artic freezer 3 420 mm best one for value.

I went for a Meshify 2XL and a 420, it's a beast! It should last me for a few upgrades though

In a couple of upgrades the liquid will be reduced and you'll need to top up . Which you can't.

True, that's a possibility. It only cost me £70, and is pretty much silent so I'm not unhappy even if it doesn't last.

i had a AF2 running for 5 years with no change in performance, im not saying your wrong as water loss will affect all AIO over time but its not somthing that happens in a year or 2

Not strictly true
You `can` top up by removing the plate on the block and filling to overflowing
Best attempted out side of case etc
