Hi I'm looking to move to a AIO for my 12600kf can I have some recommendations please.

For me it's choice between the Kraken X63 or the Arctic Freezer II

I have a previous gen X62 on my 12700K and it's runs cool and quiet. Some peeps don't like the CAM software that goes with the NZXT coolers though.

Arctic Freezer looks simpler to control as it appears to have 1 RGB header and 1 PWM/FAN pump header.

The arctic freezer is well regarded and certainly good value for money in comparison to other aio.

Also keep one eye on the EK 360 Basic or the D-RGB one.
Very quiet pump and the fans are decent, only need to keep them at 40% to keep them virtually quiet.
Also, pump and Fans controlled separately.

The Arctic Freezer II looks good from what I've read and great value for money.

Be careful on the arctic though, what OcUK and the listing doesn’t tell you is that it doesn’t come with the 1700 mounting bracket and you need it separately.

Got a 420 from another place and it came with a 1700 kit, before that I ordered one from artic as I had the 12600kf cpu, they send one free of charge.

I know they send it FOC it’s just annoying that it’s sold as being compatible and doesn’t ship with the correct equipment, you need to order separately.
