Picking an AIO

[smoky sage]

Hey Guys,

I need help picking an AIO.

I'm currently considering the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB, but im still exploring my options.
Feel free to link any white rgb AIOs below 150usd ❤️

Vrm fan. Great fans. Good radiator. Specifically designed cold plate. Like yeah best you can get for price point and like in the top 5 of all time currently. Best cost to performance as all AIO are a diminishing return on investment compared to an air cooler

It’s literally built for performance not a gimmick

Also what cpu are you trying to cool?

Almost all AIOs use the same proprietary cooling methods. Nearly like 90% of them. You are buying the name brand, or lcd screen / rgb lights. Its why some of the 50/90$ aios perform better if not the same as the 150/200$ ones. Most even have to use similar parts or even the same parts, in general.

I also second using the artic III, its a great aio. The artic II is jist as good, can sometimes be found cheaper, and the pump runs quieter.

I forget the name of the insanely cheap aio, its like $47 or something nutty. But it also performs almost as well as the artic. The nice thing about the artic III, I believe it still comes with a contact frame for the cpus which help immensely.

Just a heads up. Most of us replying to you have built using these exact parts. We aren't just using knowledge we learned online, but through actual experience. If that helps in your decision making.
