Best aio watercooler

I recommend the NZXT Kraken series X53, X63 or X73 depending on this size you need. I myself have one of these which I put to use yesterday when I assembled my first build. I'm the type of guy who like a quite system so at idle the pump and fans are virtually off and I get temps of around 40c then whenever I use the cpu on a demanding piece of software or stress test, the temperature has never exceeded 55c. Also all the AIOs have a 6 year warranty that also covers all of your PC if it were to randomly leak and damage components (E.g any error that is not caused by the user)
 
I will be looking for one of these for my next build, thats a good guarantee compared to the 2 years for ones I have seen
 
Arctic Freezer II serie has actually beefier 50% thicker radiators with more heat dissiapation capacity than most.

Yeah that's one of the main reasons I got the NZXT AIO because of this guarantee. Also compared to other AIOs e.g corsair I find the design on this one to be better...
 
If the Arctic Freezer II is on your Invisible Girl list then that's the one I'd plump for.
 
Arctic Freezer II 360 is the best you can get these days, check out gamersnexus coverage of it vs most of the others.
 
I have the X73 on an I9 9900KS and it's quiet but performs well when needed.

The warranty was a big selling point they must be confident it will last.

What your temps clock speed my 9700k is @5.1 GHz 2 of the cores run away to 95 the others sit in there 45 50. Hoping this new cooler will calm the 2 at 90 down at bit.

I can't remeber the stock temps but @5.2GHz at 1.36V with an AVX offset of 1 it hits about 82°C in Cinebench and max 75°C when gaming for a few hours.

My case is Lian li Dynamic XL with another 7 120mm fans fitted.

I'm using the pre-applied thermal paste.

The 45 degree difference in temperature between cores would concern me, it could be bad paste application or your cooler is not sitting flush on the IHS due to uneven mounting pressure, however it could also be a fault with the solder between the chip and IHS which would be an RMA (or has it been delidded?). I guess you'll find out when you fit your new cooler.

90C!! That is very high. With my CPU and the X73 after heavy gaming for several hours I've not seen the temps above 65C

God I hope men sits at 65 would be worth the dosh I paid for the kraken .just the temps are abit worrying . Maybe nothing to worry about better safe than sorry I guess .
