Ryzen 3700x AIO Cooler - I've been a moron.

Hi,

I had a mysterious noise coming from inside my new PC build, which I thought was the NVME drive fizzing, turned out to be the Thermaltake Water 3.0 argb sync 360 which I have now returned. I rather eagerly replaced this with an Aorus Liquid Cooler 360, I think I was drawn in by the rather blingy and pointless LCD display.

It was very easy to install, however the system itself my god it's NOISY. The thermaltake even with a dodgy pump and no RGB working was keeping my system cooler and even with the annoying noise, was much quieter than this AIO cooler. The pump is noisy, the fans are noisy, the whole thing is noisy. Even in "quiet" mode, the fans seem to ramp up every 20 seconds. When it's on balance, performance mode it's ridiculously loud. I am so disappointed, for the price I expected something better. So I will be returning the thing as I just can't live with the noise.

Can anyone recommend an AIO cooler, that has a quiet pump (one that you can't really hear) and quiet fans. At this point, I'd be tempted to try another Thermaltake, but would like to know opinions on good, quiet 360 AIO coolers.

Thanks

Never had a problem with Corsair. Look at the pump/block. Most are the same and this is because they're made by Asetek.

Went for a Corsair H150i Pro can honestly say it's surpassed my expectations. Lower idle temps and lower temps under stress testing, very quiet, can't hear the pump and even under load the fans are quiet. Great product, which just casts more shade over the Auros AIO!
