Looking for a 280mm AIO.

NOT NZXT please. I am returning my X62 as it STILL doesn't work with Ryzen 3000. ridiculous.

Alas I can't wait any longer and need another. Thanks.
 
I've got a x72 in a box waiting to go when my 3900x arrives which is worrying.

But to answer your question the Corsair h115i gets a good name. I've had a Corsair h60i running for 6 years without issue.

Well no Kraken is working with any Ryzen 3000. https://support.camwebapp.com/forum...ons/38089969-x570-aorus-master-wrong-cpu-temp
And it's been over 2 weeks since launch. I can't even game without getting the fear as the cooler thinks the CPU is at 50 degrees.

Thanks, I'll look at the H115i

That thread makes grim reading!

You get the feeling there is one junior programmer who is tasked with the whole of CAM development. I don't understand why NZXT don't make a concerted effort to get it working - it must be costing them sales left right and centre!

It's madness. Their software devs have never been up to the job tbh. But this launch is really showing them up. You would think it would get to the stage where they would just bite the bullet and outsource the work to get it done.

Exactly! I'm not programmed in over ten years but it's not exactly rocket science - taking temp readings, setting fan curves and a nice GUI!

so its the cam software that isn't working rather than the actual AIO. Don't use the cam software then. Can you not set fan curves in bios?

It's the CAM software. you can't just set that in BIOS. The rad fans sure. that's easy. But the pump speed (which is what you want to react quickly to CPU temp) can only be controlled via CAM software.

I can set pump speed in bios (MSI). Do you not have a pump header on the mobo? you can even control it if you plug it into a fan header too. My msi boards can be switched between auto/DC/PWM.

MSI also have software called comman centre that lets you do the same thing but from the desktop if you want. Does the ASRock Motherboard Utility not let you do this?
 
If the pump gets power direct from PSU and is controlled via USB, no, no motherboard will control that directly.

But I'd argue that pump speed doesn't need to react to anything. Set it to a reasonable speed and leave it. Fan speed has greater impact on temperatures.

I actually disagree and go the other way.
The fans cool the liquid. Which has significant thermal mass and will take time to react to any warming or cooling effect.
If the CPU suddenly gets very hot (and we know they shoot up in temperature near instantly.) Then waiting for the fans to bring down the liquid temperature will be like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.
If the CPU gets a sudden spike in temp then the only option to you is to pass more liquid over the surface of it, quickly!. i.e. pump speed.

The liquid temp can be kept in check by fan speed but the CPU temp must be, in the first instance, controlled by pump speed. As it is the only thing that will react quickly enough to make a difference.
 
only time pump speed makes any difference is if it is really slow. I've played about with the pump speed on my GPU kraken G12 and keep it low until I play games then only put it up to 70%. Keeping it slow makes it completely silent while going between 70-100% makes no difference to GPU temps.

Fans cool the radiator not the liquid.
 
CAM working yet with the new Ryzens ?, as was going to get the x62 for my 3700X, but its not in stock, the Corsair H100i Platinum is in though, so i could get that, just need to know how it compares to the Kraken, but if the CAM ain't working still yet, looks like i'll just be going for the H100i.
 
hmmm, i been using x62 in my 3900 since launch... (temp before i custom loop) i know cam wasn't recognising the CPU temp but i didnt realise you couldn't control anything...

Saying that, looking at my idles temps, 35/40 to gaming temps about 50ish. I havent really been concerned..

I’m in the same boat, but will probably go H115i or H150i... The 115 seems to get slightly better reviews for noise with the 140mm fans.
