Question, is a 360 mil custom loop over kill for a 12900ks? (not over clocked, and im more than willing to UC if a Aio would work) (also the loop is only for the cpu) got the pc custom built from Cyberpower, and welp long story short heating issues due to incompetence and if i can i wanna just get rid of the Custom due to it will be a pain to clean out due to the res not having a easy drain spot...

AIO will be adequate if you aren't gonna be OCing
kind of a waste for a KS chip but im assuming you just bought the top spec system
i assume it already has a contact frame?
karmic cove
i think? if im thinking of the same thing yes, Im not very Well informed wifh most pc knowledge, But i originally got a ks for the fact i wanted a editing/gaming pc
It works well, but gets too hot 😪
Tbh id rather use AIO due to i have 0 confidence in me being able to swap the liquid in custom without screwing up

KS = binned chip, it’ll overclock better than the K

yeah, and it’ll work fine
karmic cove
Ahhh, ye rip is a waste, Runs like a beauty tho even without OC 🤤
Now i heard something about
That specific one being good for the ks? If not what one would you recommend?
vernal mason
Deepcool LT/LS 720 performs better for around the same price
currently best bang for buck AIO

Damn the arctic cooler has gotten very cheap
I’d go with the arctic cooler tbh it’s slightly cheaper then the Deepcool aio and it has VRM cooling that is if you get the non rgb version @karmic cove
Seen a few reviews of people using it to cool 13900 CPUs just fine
I had one, it kept my 5800x OC’d to 5GHz at a crisp 68c under a 10 minute load
vernal mason
LFii was a good choice ~3 years back maybe but nw there are more options
LS720SE is in fact cheaper than it
broken pasture
They’re still a pretty good choice lol
It would depend what aesthetic he wanted if he wants non rgb the Arctic is like $6 cheaper
Sorry $5 and comes with VRM cooling. It does make a difference in thermals from what has been tested too
broken pasture
You realize that thermals between every chip and pump are different right….with a difference of 6 degrees Celsius that could be the difference between thermal paste applications
And the other is a 3 degree difference. So diminishing returns at best
They perform nearly exactly the same and one has VRM cooling lol
vernal mason
that VRM cooling doesn't really provide any tangible benefit
maybe if you had insufficient VRMs on a hungry chip.. but this isnt the case
broken pasture
Technically speaking it would under extreme circumstances when overclocking
Especially if you have good vrm cooling heatsinks it’ll move air more efficiently between the fins
vernal mason
maybe if you're repeating runs for 30 mins on a power limits removed chip 💀

Gamers nexus did a video on it and helps under circumstances. Cooling up to 20c cooler
vernal mason
which again is not the case considering you can't even utilize the full potential of a KS chip without a custom loop
and the guy wasn't planning on OC
broken pasture
The difference in price between the non rgb is negligible so. It would just depend if he wanted rgb or not I guess

turn off the rgb 🤯
broken pasture
its a 4C difference
Dude 🤦🏼♂️😂 yea and you test again and it tests exactly the same tf with that difference in performance theirs a various number of factors that could have made the thermals differ
Thermal paste spread, room temps. Or transient spikes in voltage
vernal mason
Dude 🤦🏼♂️😂 yea and you test again and it tests exactly the same tf with that...
point is you claimed 20C lol
deepcool lt/ls720 as concluded on average by various professional reviewers outperforms the LFii
broken pasture
20c in vrms maybe you should read
vernal mason
ok, pull up the video and timestamp
vernal mason
it 5C cooler than with the fan turned off
why cherrypick the CLC when the EK AIO is also there
broken pasture
@karmic cove just go for what you think looks good they’ll all cool your cpu fine
