Hi,

Looking for some advice, looking to upgrade my Corsair H100i 240mm to a better 360mm AIO for my I9-14900ks as we all probably know it gets a tad hot!.

Looking around a lot of reviews and different opinions on different AIO's

One's i've been looking at are:
  • Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL-INF
  • Arctic Liquid Freezer III High Performance
  • EK Water Blocks EK-Nucleus CR360 Lux
  • ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 Performance
I have a Asus GT502 case so 360mm is the biggest radiator i can get. Just wondering which of those or even if theres a better one to go for, the Asus ROG is a bit pricey but if its the one to go for well id bite the bullet.

Also possibly looking into doing a push and pull config on the radiator though it may be a tight fit on the GT502 unless i take the lid off the top and have fans popping out of the case instead lol

Just wondering peoples thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Paul

I agree to go for the Arctic freezer III but its a bit fatter than other aio's and i dont think push pull will fit at the top.

Yeah just thinking on the gt502 the top comes off so possibly able to put fans on top instead might look iffy but thinking of getting so dust covers etc
 
will do, only issue i think i may have is if the radiator+fans fit the top of the case as i think it may be a very tight fit and may block me getting the mobo cables in but will see
 
Well so far so good, way better temperatures than the previous one. 25-33 idle, lots better temps on games no longer hitting the 90-100 on cores at times so looks to be way better than the previous one :)

Question tho, choice of cables i used the Single 4-Pin connector rather than the individuals and connected it to the CPU_FAN pins on mobo, previously it was 1 to the cpu fan and 1 to the AIO_PUMP connector... Cant see the AIO speed from armoury crate now, this anything to worry about or this all good (if that made sense)
 
Yeah impressed can barely hear the PC at all so the fans on this are a lot quieter than the corsair h100i also.

Cheers for the advice all :)

Yeh it can be tricky to mount but don't let it put you off, best way is to leave the cpu in the socket to prevent damage, also a little tip put electrical tape on the support bracket on the back of the motherboard to keep it in place as it can move.

Cheers for this tip btw, i was going to do this and got some electrical tape, but with having the previous bracket for the Corsair in i left this screwed in while putting in the frame, glad i didnt have to take the whole mobo out of the case!

Mine was done in the case as I couldn't be bothered to take it out, lucky for me I got it when artic did the promotion as I only payed £80 for it, I wasn't looking to change aio but its white :)

That looks sweet!

I need to do some cable tidying when i get a chance lol its a bit messy current (just getting bits in to test) depends if i can be bothered though :D

Arctic iii has been so far so good most I've seen is about 70 on some cores now and again gaming so it's a lot better than my old aio. Cinibench was hitting 100c still but tweeked voltages a bit n seems max 97 on cinibench

I can live with that so yep cheers all for the advise again
