cooler to replace a AIO

[Wing-Man]

thinking of dumping a 360MM AIO for an air cooler, the pump as a horrible noise...

Anything Thermalright to be frank.

There's a five heatpipe version of the Assassin King for £15 and it would be more than ample for your CPU.

Tbh there isn't much in it, I've read the frost commander is better than the pa, but there's is only a few reviews around, but as mentioned above pretty much anything thermal right will be good

^ What he said. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit PS120SE is slightly better than the Peerless Assassin 120SE and has a extra heatpipe. If you went for the ARGB version it's actually cheaper than the PA120 at less than £30!!

I've been using Noctua u12a for 2 years and it's a great performer under loads. AIO's are too loud

Another vote for the PA120

Thanks for the recommendations in here. Saved me making my own thread...

Feel like £30 buys you something super competent now and everything else is just chasing smaller and smaller gains.

I've got a Noctua C14s with a push pull set up because it's a perfect solution for my NR200. I won't even begin to pretend my 3600x at stock needs it

Thermalright has made every other air cooler brand look overpriced in the last 1-2 years.

Defo the Thermalright Phantom Spirit PS120SE it's a cracker

 

[D-Ranged]

Agree with Thermalrite. They just do what they are meant to for a decent price, especially compared to the AIO's. Although AIO's look much cooler! Pardon the pun.

Thermalright do aio coolers as well. And at a stonking price too.

Thermalright Frozen Notte and Aqua Elite 360 White V3 Review: Strong AIOs available for less than $65

If you’re looking for a strong AIO that has a budget price tag, you can’t beat Thermalright’s bang per buck.

My Noctua NH-D15 keeps my 8700K between 40 - 75oC on average while it's overclocked to 5GHz.

 

[moppy89]

Can you not stick a third fan on the end there? Just for maximum overkill?

£100 is a pretty penny for an air cooler though
