They really after fantastic, and with Noctua sending out free AM4 kits for owners I honestly see little reason to bother with an AIO again. I'm also running it with the single stock fan; and I did buy a second one as well. It ended up making a 1 degree difference at 100% loads, so I just boxed it again to keep as a spare.
Get a nice chassis window that's tinted and you don't get that striking beige fan staring you in the face as well. It looks more grey then
Soldato
My own fault I just jumped in without reading. Oh well it's only £12 I just wont feed the children for a day.Ouch you paid £4.02 for a Corsair AM4 bracket kit and £8.08 DHL shipping while I got it for free.
It's not hard to find almost any review that finds the Noctua D15 come top in group tests, even against most AIOs. I don't know why people fall for the 'liquid cooling' marketing nonsense of AIOs over and over... D15 will trump them all for performance and certainly value. I totally get the AIO argument from an aesthetic point of view (especially vs Noctua) or if you have extremely high profile RAM or no height clearance in the case. Otherwise, it's quite amusing reading comments that have owners of AIOs questioning why they don't have amazing near record breaking temps. Do your research lol!!

I rate a rock solid 1000MHz+ overclock as a solid overclocking CPU, especially when cooled with just a 120mm AIO.

So can expect 4.0-4.7Ghz from a 1700 then 
That WOULD be an overclocker's dream

Honestly if it can hit 4Ghz on all cores on a £100-150 motherboard the value is unbeatable.
It would make more sense for my someone like myself to buy the CPU and Motherboard than get a second hand 5960X or 6900K.
what is hot for a ryzen cpu?I rate a rock solid 1000MHz+ overclock as a solid overclocking CPU, especially when cooled with just a 120mm AIO.
i mean like safe temps, any idea
