I'm looking for an AIO for my Jonsplus Z20 build and the radiator depth is restricted to 30mm (240mm AIO).

Any suggestions for a decent cooler that thin?
 
That will perform poorly, and be easily beaten by a £30-50 cheap air cooler such as a Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit, which will also run quieter. Don't bother with an AIO unless you can go 360MM and above.

Most aio radiators are 27mm thick apart from the Arctic Freezer that is 38mm.

As for not bothering with a 240mm aio that will depend on what CPU your cooling and thermalright have some good options.

It's a 5800x3d that I'm cooling. To be honest, I think there's value in the AIO even if it's just being on a par with a decent air cooler, because I've got a Dark Rock Pro 4 in there just now and because it's a small case it's taking up a lot of volume in there. I think the AIO taking up less space and pushing the heat directly out of the top of the case would be an advantage, helping the case fan at the rear in getting rid of the hot air generated by the GPU

They do get pretty hot, I don't think you'd better the performance, temps, noise of the Dark Rock Pro 4.

Dark rock pro for is solid but if you want an aio then go for it, plus it's a cleaner look instead of a big chunk of metal , I did.
 
I have a five heatpipe, single tower Thermalright Assassin King cooling my 5800X3D in an M-ATX case just fine, even in this horrific heat wave.

Be sure to use an offset, most will do - 20 or -30 per core, it makes a big difference.

You wouldn't have a guide handy for that, would you? All I've done is set the XMP profile for the memory.

Depends on the motherboard, it's usually best to do it in bios if possible. If not follow this:

I had to do this via PBO in BIOS and with -25 I've lowered the temps by around 10C.

Nice - thanks for the info. :)
