Cooler for Corsair Carbide Air 240 case

it1uk · 24 May 2019 at 11:34

Hello there, just after a few recommendations for a cooler as my Corsair H80GT AIO pump has failed.

I'm running a 4670k @ 4.4GHz

I'm wondering if its better to keep it safe and go for an air cooler but i can only fit a cooler that is 120mm high or to go with a 240mm AIO.

Does anyone have this case or any ideas on a good cooler for it.

Many thanks for your help.

Cryorig H7 says it's 145mm high but I'm pretty sure it'll fit. Alternatively, maybe the Gen6 Asetek coolers - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-liquid-cooling-upgrade-bundle-bu-0d5-tl.html

Thanks for your input.

How does this cooler compare to the one you listed above https://www.overclockers.co.uk/alph...u-aio-water-cooling-unit-black-hs-007-ac.html

Rear fan positions are for pre-Y2K 80mm size, so highly unlikely to fit even that small heatsink.
Corsair completely BSes with that "Air" in name.

Looks like its another AIO cooler for me again. Got the system running on a standard cooler with standard clocks.

Want to fit a 240mm one but there is so many to chose from!

Thanks for your input guys.

Im going to go with a 240mm AIO cooler. Should be a bit of an upgrade from the 120mm i had before.

Have you looked at the be quiet! Silent Loop? It's the only other AIO (except Swiftech) that I know of. I've been using their 280 every sence they came out. I did top up coolant after about 6 months and changed coolant after about 14 months. It's due for another coolant change in next few months. Their pump housing assembly is not as tall as Eisbaer, but cost a little more than Eisbaer with 240 being £129.99.

OcUK has a couple 'B' grade one (new returns) for £99.95.

I will have a look at the Be Quiet unit and get something ordered up in the next couple of days.
