Arctic Freezer II 360. Cools my 9900k even at 200amps of load. Quite cheap also.

eisbaer LT. 360 can take 9900k at 5.3ghz all core fine enough or 8700k at 5.2ghz

all copper , easy enough to connect up your 1080ti underwater as well

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £99.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)


arctic is 38mm thick rad. alphacools LT is 25mm and non LT is 30mm

I nearly bought it when I built this system but went with the fractal s36 instead.

I'll wait till the end of the month before buying anything

still stuck with compression fittings that were main selling point on the older version. only asetek model to do so

Think I'll get the alphacool. The one oc UK has is the one with the purewings fans. Funny thing is since I got my CPU back from delid repair my temps are under 25c at idle although hwinfo is jumping around a lot since I fitted the cooler. I didn't have any thermal grizzly left so used NH-T1 instead

Internal testing from alpha showed BQ fans were better then their own so they switched.

ABQ used 2200rpm version on their 'silent' version and alpha uses 1500rpm, which are...silent lol

Which is the better one the LT or the standard one I'm guessing not the one with the eiswind fans

LT and Eisbaer have the same pump , LT has AC own fans and reg has Purewings.

then you have the newer Eisbaer Aurora , which has a newer gen pump and ARGB


My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £254.98 (includes shipping: £0.00)​
​

also better tubing and fittings for a more slick look
