AIO or Watercooled

[marco.da.man]

Hi guys

Im just wandering what everyone's opinion is. At current im running a 240mm AIO Coolermaster kite in my phanteks p400s case, but thinking of changing.

The question i wanna know is it better of stickin with an AIO and saying going for a 360mm or should I go water cooling ?

I ask people these

1. what are benefits if did change ?
2. Is it difficult to set up ?
3. what is more beneficial in the long run ?

cheers mark

A 240mm AIO should manage your Ryzen CPU fine (if its your sig rig) without too much bother even overclocking. Will not see a big change in terms of performance moving to an 360mm AIO or custom loop.

Biggest benefit of moving to a custom loop would be to throw your GPU in the loop also, otherwise no real point from a performance standpoint (and even then). Similarly can add in more radiators and in turn lower fan speed, but will not be a massive gain as I doubt your 240mm AIO is having too many issues. Other benefit to a custom loop is really looks and having it how you want, downside is the dent to your wallet that can occur

IMO custom loops are not too hard to do, if you do acylic or PETG bending, can take some time to get some bends done and is a learning experience, but more patience then being difficult.
