Air vs AIO cooling for noobie

[TheAbbot]

Hello

I am looking at getting a gaming PC built by OCUK and would like some advice about cooling.

My current thoughts on a build are here https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/white-ish-pc-build-thoughts.18876282/

Does anyone have any experience with the Corsair AIO and could it be bettered by an air cooler such as the Alpenfon Brocked 3 White Edition:

or the Alpenfohn Matterhorn White:

Both these air coolers keeping to my white theme.

Are there any compatability issues with any of these - will they fit in the case, will there be enough clearance room for the ram etc?

Many thanks for any input.

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.

I will be getting OCUK to build the PC for me.

@doyll does the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard have similar spacing to the Tomahawk Max?

It looks like the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro are out of stock at the moment. How does the Team Group Night Hawk RGB compare height wise?

I think I'll be going for the Brocken !
