I currently have a Fuma 2 and im wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how it might compare to the two AIOs (360mm variants) named in the this thread title? My CPU is a 7800X3D but ive only just installed it and haven’t had a chance to see how the Fuma 2 handles it.

Thanks
 
Theoretically the AIO's should be quite a bit better than a air cooler even if it is a twin tower cooler, however, I believe the 7800x3d is pretty easy to cool and should be easily managed by your Fuma 2. One thing is certain though, I wouldn't touch that EK AIO as it uses a aluminium radiator with a copper block and one thing you should never do is mix metals in a water loop! They have been caught out by doing this before so why they are doing it again I don't know.
 
A lot of those AIO
They use aluminium radiators it's cheaper than brass
And copper blocks
Would depend if the part of the block
That touches the coolant is nickel plated or not

The deepcool lt720
Would be another good option
But yeah you should give the fuma a good test
Before looking at an AIO

Arctic does the same, copper plate and aluminium rad.

 
Either the EK or the Arctic are good. Also impressed with the Phanteks with the D30 fans if you like RGB.
But for the 7800x3D, you can keep things simple, keep using the Fuma and forget. I’m impressed how cool the 7800x3D runs.
Using it with the Thermalright Phantom Spirit Evo, fans at 40%. 3D Mark, stress test, the maximum temperature was mid 60s. Real life will be low 60s at most gaming.

I've had a play around with my 7800X3D and done a couple of benchmarks with Cinebench 2024, you can see the results below.

This is with EXPO enabled and a PBO of -30, no other BIOS changes.

The fans on my FUMA 2 are running at 1000rpm, does this look about right or is 80c too hot?

80c doesn't seem too hot
Throttle is 89c I think on those
Given your cpu fans only at 1k rpm that doesn't
Seem an unreasonable result to me

Obviously benchmarks/stress tests are one thing
And real life use another
If real life use is ok too
Probably don't need the AIO

Though I haven't used a cpu air cooler
In donkeys years
Hopefully someone else will answer
Who has similar hardware to give a comparison
 
It's not bad seeing as the fans are only at 1000rpm and Cinebench will hammer the cpu more than you would in normal use. Try a game and see what it reaches then. You could always increase the fan speed a tad if you are not happy with the temps.
 
Thermalright seem to have about 5 models
Of 360mm AIO
Same as their air coolers the price
Is undercutting everything
Not finding many reviews so far
But seeing prices of £48 for no rgb plain black version
Up to £70 for white and argb version
And everything in-between depending on the models
Those will Surely be new bang for buck 360mm AIO
Assuming the performance is there like with their air coolers
