Right now i have an AC Freezer 3 and it good but ever now and then i touch the ran and it boiling, my CPU will only be in the 60's and this is after long gaming sessions.

my old Corsair h150i i could just set a target coolant temp, and fan would stay as low RPM as possible but maintain the temp.
right now i just cant get the fans right, there ever loud for no need or silent and the rad is very hot

other than Corsair and NZXT is there any other brands that offer coolant temp monitoring?

Have you considered just replacing the fans? They are almost certainly a standard size and easily replaced.

I have a good push pull set up. It’s not that fans. With an AIO or water cooling in general you should run you fans if coolant temp not cpu temp

It make fan control better. If you coolant is at 30c and your cup spikes to 80c the fans would go 100% but your coolant is still at 30c there was no need for the fans to do anything

Yeah running of coolant temp is ideal but using CPU temp works fine if you can add some moderate hysteresis/lag time into your fan curve.
 
Many motherboards now have inputs for temperature sensors, some even include the sensor. Not that hard to monitor coolant - or if you just want something approximate, attach it to the radiator fins.

Not that I can see with just the AIO, I can set it to Water in / out temp but that's for a custom loop.

you see with icue/NZXT cam you can set it to maintain a set coolant temp

but the CAM software is crap at best my brother had problems with it, and i feel corsair is getting too expensive for what it is.
if im going to pay £300 id just set up a custom cpu loop
 
If your 13900KF (which will be dumping a ton of heat into the cooler) is only running in the 60's then the AIO is doing it's job well and can't be running that hot.

im not complaining about performance, and i am running a B board so the cpu is locked to 5.7Ghz. but its just the fans
with the stock fans and or the Lian Li i have the rad ever gets hot over long game play or the system get loud i been messing about and there is just no middle ground BUT the cpu is always in the 60's

i dont want the coolant running too hot this is bad for the pump and potential leaks.
i also dont want the fans running like a jet lol

i replaced my h150i because it was old and looked like crap by modem standards, but icue did an amazing job.
you would sat max temp 35c on the coolant and the fans would be off, then as it got to say 33c the fans would soft spin on and ramp slowly as needed to keep that target temp.

ive just see the new cosair aio that use's icue is £270 and now needs and icue link not just a usb cable so we are looking at £330(sod off) you can go custom for that


EDIT: on a side note have you seen the new phanteks one 360
standard with 3xm25 fans £90
same cooler with 3xd30 fans £180

but 3x D30's only cost £75....
