Hi all, So after learning that my H110i GTX needs a few taps to get flowing each time, I have decided to look for a new (bigger) cooler. (yes I am looking at RMA with Corsair but I will need a replacement before I remove it). So, I am currently looking at this 420 from Alphacool - It has 3x140mm fans which I like the thought of over the 120mm. Anyone have any experience of it? Lots of reviews in German Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 420 CPU Or theres plenty of 360mm ones from the likes of Corsair, NZXT, Cooler Master etc - Any stand out performers I should be aware of? Ive been out of the game for a while now so im not up on which ones are the best performers. I know you guys and girls will have some solid options. Thanks in advance
i7 3960x Socket 2011 - Gets fairly toasty but nothing extreme Yup! Been reading through a few now. Still always welcome some real world stuff from here - Always value others experience !
A 240 would probably be plenty for that chip In terms of reviews, Gamers Nexus are really solid for AIO's, so probably worth looking there Edit: I meant 280
I would go with a 280mm for noise and case compatibility. I can't imagine too many cases accommodating a 420mm radiator. Alternatively, a 360mm radiator offers more top mount case support.
They get hot if they clock well. I had the 3970x and it clocked like a nutter (5.2ghz all cores) but I had a 280mm H110? something like that. They do need some cooling tbh.
