Help Kitten find a new Liquid Cooler/ Air Cooled Unit

[Kitten]

Hey Guys,

Last year my Cooler Master Seidon 120V just died. Well the pump died. I have been running stock cooler since then. Since, its winter the Stock Cooler has been doing well. However, Since its going to get warm in a couple months, i need to invest in a new Liquid Cooler/ Air Unit. My poor i7 4770k wont be doing well this summer without a cooler .

Now here are my ideas

Any other ideas?

Corsair's AIO units aren't bad. There are reports of some of their pumps failing but it's pretty rare for it to occur. I'm guessing you can't do a 120mm rad?

Yes, I can i have a Corsair 500R case, i mean i can go up to 240MM. But 120mm rad would be better.

Are you overclocking?

What kind of temps were you getting with the Seidon 120V?

What kind of temps were you getting with the Seidon 120V?

Idle was around 29-34*C and on load around 50-56*C

Edit my MOBO is a LGA1150

I have a Corsair 500R also, and I use an H100i (240mm rad). Works great, would happily recommend.

Will look into. Thanks 👍 Did you set up where usually the 2 120mm fan sit on top?

Yep, that's where a radiator is designed to sit in the 500R. Fans on the underside, oriented for push - ie drawing air out of the case and through the rad. If the 500R was appropriately designed I'd have the radiator set up in push-pull but you can't fit that in it so I don't

Thank You! I had my Cool Master rad sat on top to. Looked funky but it worked . Since it only took one slot.

Will look into it tomorrow. Thanks again @Sharky.
Also what temps you running?

Low 30s idle, maybe mid 50s under full load? 3570K @ 4.0GHz

Haven't really monitored temps too thoroughly since I slapped the unit on. I think it could do with a re-seating and re-pasting as the initial mounting wasn't too flash, but I'm not particularly fussed as the temps aren't worse than what I had on a Hyper 212+ (air). Sounds like a jet engine during POST because POST, soon as Windows starts loading it's whisper quiet

I would take a look at the Cool Master Nepton 120Xl and the Cool Master Nepton 240M, both are much quieter than their Corsair counterparts.

I had a CoolMaster 120V and it died around 5months of use... well 2 months it sat since i was away. but then i was 3 months of regular use, and it died :\.. Dunno if i want to trust Cool Master again.
