best performing AIO

[mr griffin]

My son wants an AIO in his pc.

what's the best AIO for performance these days?

I've never used one always been full custom loop or stayed air.

You will get plenty of recommendations for Arctic cooling.

Check some charts, there all about the same, i went with Antec vortex 360 as it was on offer. Really happy with it and performs as good as all the other 360's

Quite a few numbers in this review:

Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance 360 AIO Review

Lian Li looks to assert dominance in the all-in-one liquid cooler market with the Galahad II Trinity Performance 360. Utilizing a new, thicker radiator design along with 28 mm fans, it certainly packs class-leading performance, but beyond that, it also has a host of new features and...

Pretty sure Deepcool LT720 is top at the moment or the EK ones.

Arctic Cooling has been a consistant top performer over the years.

Most AIOs are pretty similar nowadays as a lot are Asetek rebrands, so will perform the same, with the only difference being the vendor fans that are supplied with it.

Also 'looks' make the choice harder - do you want RGB or a Mini-Screen on it ?

The ball park can go from a perfectly good performing 360 @ £120 ( Arctic Cooling ) to a £400+ monstrosity with a screen on the pump that cools worse ( Yes ASUS - You )

I have the same dilemma myself, I have 13900kf and want to replace the cooling, currently I have EK Elite. Initially, I considered the Corsair H170i XT, EK Nucleus 360 and Lian Li Galahad II Performance and after reading a few reviews, I think I will buy Lian Li Galahad II Performance. Cooling, although new in the reviews, collects positive opinions, it has the thickest heatsink of what I took into account, plus the price is also attractive. I will replace the fans anyway with the T30 because I have them mounted on the current cooler.

EKWB make their own pump on their AIO don't they?

 

[Toony90]

I think so

Does he want a fancy screen which shows temps and can have GIFs on it etc ?

Does he want a fancy screen which shows temps and can have GIFs on it etc ?

he probably would , but as long as it has some rgb he would be happy....been looking at the EK nuculus 240 to put in the roof of his pc. should be enough for a 5800x. any reasons not to get this???

 

[venomx]

Should be fine but I recommend nzxt as their software is also good

I am also looking for a aio, i been looking and reading all over the web, at forums, review sites and watching review videos for like a month now, and from what i gather, the EKWB EK-Nucleus CPU AIO CR360 is one of the best, so i think im finally going with the dark version of this and not the rgb version, has no software or lcd screen, but thats fine for me.

My son is using the older EK 240 on his 5600x, performs quite well and is easy to fit.

Yes the price.

 

[Dreadi]

Lt720 or Galahad 2 for best performance....but my kracken elite has a lovely screen on it

 

[clone]

Price per performance I would say artic freezer 2, I've had a few aios but this is very impressive and customer service is good.

 

[Glanza]

EK or the new Lian Li seem to be at the top of charts with recent reviews.

I have just bought the EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Dark All In One CPU Water Cooler from overclockers, from all what i have read and reviews read and watched, this seems to be one of the best, been looking on and off for like a month now, just need a power supply and keyboard to finish my build now, thx for suggestions here, i know its not my thread but been helpful, would like to know what @mr griffin has chosen.
