Hi Folks,

I've got a 7800X3D and currently have a 360 AIO (Fractal Design S36).

Looking around, it appears I can get better performance - and by that, I mean cooling. I'm not worried about sound levels.

Can anyone advise what the best AIO out at the moment is?

It appears to be pretty close between:

Cooler Master MasterLiquid Atmos 360
LIAN LI GALAHAD II TRINITY PERFORMANCE
ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 AIO

Happy to consider others - what seems to be the best ?
 
If it ain't broke and cooling fine why not keep on using it? why would you think changing from that 360 AIO (Fractal Design S36) to another would be better?

So thats ultimately my position I want to test.

I'm getting peaks of about 72 ish with my current cooler, and if I understood correctly AMD CPUs boost higher for longer if cooled appropriately. When doing 3DMark Timespy as an example its not a solid line at 5.05Ghz , there are a few (4-5?) bumps where it drops to 4.8 ish for a second or so, so I assumed this was the CPU backing off.

If that is totally false and there will be zero improvement, I won't bother :)
