@@addz17 Kinda. The fans they include are low RPM, and the radiator is optimized for low RPMs(low airflow restriction, sub-30mm thickness). Meaning it gets almost no scaling from more airflow/static pressure. As you get thicker/more restrictive radiators(like 60mm+ thickness or very high FPI rads), you want something like EK Varder EVOs, Noctua 12x25, or gentle typhoons.

I reused my old coolermaster case with the double wide 120 AIO. There was space for two fans on the top of the case already, so I mounted the radiator to the top inside of the case, then mounted the fans on top of the case in a pull configuration. This gave me enough clearance to put the new MB in place. I had to customize the mount, because the old fan spacing didn't match the radiator, and also needed to drill a new hole and put a grommet to bypass the fan cables into the case. Very satisfactory result.

[@RackBaLLZ]

[@anubis1800]

When it comes to AIOs I personally use a H100i with Noctua fans. If I need more cooling I use the industrial fans that are black and brown, but under normal circumstances the cream and brown fans are perfect. The EK Vardar fans are great too (considering they are made for static pressure) and so are the Corsair ML (magnetic levitation) fans. I like the ML fans because they have a pretty good static pressure, they are quiet and they come with a 5 year warranty. Of all my builds over the past 18 or so years, fans are one of the first failure points within the first 3 years or so, so spend the extra money on good fans from reputable companies and save your system from overheating from a fan failure. Building a new system from the ground up is a lot more expensive than buying good fans to start off. Also, clean you dust filters regularly because dust getting into your fans is what causes them to fail most often (from my experience), plus it clogs airflow and can cause static electricity to build inside your case and that will quickly brick your board.

"Making sure you get the largest size that will fit in your chassis comfortably". So that's how it works.

Does depend on use though for someone trying to squeeze out 4.9Ghz+ CPU’s then sure a bigger rad helps. I have my 8700k at 4.8Ghz and even with a 240mm radiator I rarely exceed 70’C because my fans are maxed out. I can’t hear anything when I have my headset on so fan noise is not an issue.

TheJamsplat I want to get the same CPU and overclock it to 4.6 GHz, but I’m confused because of the video made by Linus. By his test A normal fan is better than a water cooler in temperatures

[@TheJamsplat]

@@foop8964 All depends on the environment of your case and the budget you have. An air cooler is usually your more cost effective option but when overclocking you might need some beefy fan to cool effectively and you will need to maintain your case(dust building up). AIO is the low noise, low maintainence option only having to replace the unit when you feel the temps are no longer stable (dust is less of an issue but you should still clean every 6-12months).

i got an old i7-920 slightly overclocked water cooled since day one of installation still running a comfortable 35-40 Celsius 24/7 with a single 120mm radiator from Corsair (i think it is the H50 or something similar). no hick-ups in the last 9 years. so i can confirm the stability over time for AIOs. and finally, i love your videos as they're very educational and funny to watch - thanks man :-)

[@CommodoreFan64]

Don't say silence to a Thermaltake 120mm AIO that comes with Batwings fans in push/pull config, they are loud AF!!!

[@kevgwang]

set is looking good Jay you mean my 5 rads in my case are a waste???? lol

[@Sophistry0001]

I'd put a Noctua NH-D15 up against any water cooler head to head any day. If your case can fit a large air cooler, that's the way to go IMO.

[@fabiusmaximuscunctator7390]

Noctua crushes the 120 and 240 with ease, Linus showed that some time ago!

[@Sophistry0001]

@@fabiusmaximuscunctator7390 Yea that video really helped solidify my stance on AIO coolers. In general they are more expensive, have more ways of failing and potentially much much worse consequences of failure than comparable air coolers. The only reasons to go with AIO would be looks or the small form factor. Otherwise air is cheaper, less ways to fail, and not so bad when they do fail and are easy to fix. Just slap a new fan on it instead of buying a new one.

[@fabiusmaximuscunctator7390]

counter argument: buy Noctua air coolers!

[@Sophistry0001]

@ Also true, which will depend on your motherboard and ram config. Aside from these special circumstances, AIOs just don't have a great value proposition. Even something like a Hyper 212 Evo has a much better value in terms of price to performance.

[@CharlieVeve]

Hello, I have one from Arctic. Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240. The CPU is Ryzen 5 3600, I have only set the game profile in BIOS to 4,2GHz. CPU sits on MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. Paired with 2x 8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 HyperX Predator. I am very satisfied. In idle 30-40°C. In max load was 72°C. I had 88°C in max load with stock cooler. I also have 4 more 120mm vents from Arctic. 1 for intake and 3 for exhaust. The rad is mounted in front of the case and vents are as intake. Arctic has simply connection, just connect to CPU_FAN and that's it. I have been mounting one from Corsair for friend of mine. And a lot of wires are leading from cooler. I had to read the manual which wire to connect to. You do great job. Nice videos.

I'm here after finding out lowering the pump speed to avoid the noise on my 360 rad caused the temps to skyrocket. Something I don't see mentioned practically anywhere is how noisy pumps are in water cooling setups (or at least AIOs). They emit an awful buzzing noise above a certain 'RPM' and if you lower the speed to make the buzzing go away, the pump may not even have enough pressure to make the exchange work in the first place. A far cry from lowering fan RPM which still works just fine, but doesn't cause the massive issue with heat build up. After owning 2 different AIOs over the last few years, I'm going back to air cooling with an NH-D15. Can't afford an entire custom loop and even if I could there's no guarantee those separate pump units are silent.

[@LeadSails]

My pump makes no noise at all and I have the H150i Pro so you may have had a defective pump. My setup doesn’t make a sound even when i’m overclocked to 5 Ghz on my i9-9900K.

[@AllOutNoobHater]

I just finally noticed that you're using the new set. Your previous videos using it I had zero clue lol.

[@kridocaign5722]

You know, years ago Linus made a series of videos on a whole-room watercooling project. As you may have expected, he completely bungled it up in every possible way. I'm interested in the idea of infrastructural watercooling, since being able to exhaust heat outside would be an amazing thing in the summer months. Any chance you could give it a shot? In less absurd requests, could you recommend some cases with lots of clearance for mounting radiators and maintaining the system?

[@onemanarmybg]

Size doesn't matter, it's all about the technique... Atleast that's what she said

[@LogiForce86]

The right size for me is the Noctua size because I am a set and forget kind of guy. Been running my NH-D14 on 2600k for almost a decade now, and it still runs fine.

[@naftaLidgzYT]

Just to add I think the only reasons you need an AIO are (1) If the country you're at is really hot and (2) If you stream, record gameplay, and do something that stresses your computer. I was using a Cryorig Quad Lumi and it can't handle game recording because I use my processor as the encoder. Switched to Corsair H100i Platinum RGB and its the best!

[@xelnaga18]

The gentle typhoon is back AP-15 on Amazon

[@ardencarling9316]

How long does it typically take for an aio's fluid to evaporate out?

[@MrMGR1986]

Well, Corsair has a warranty for 5 years

[@louiefriesen]

I think that it would last 5+ years. It'd probably last just a tad longer than the warranty.

[@xeigen2]

I have been using my Corsair H55 since January 2014 and it still cools just as well as it ever did. My PC is almost always on too.

[@loneraptor1]

i actually the H60 on my 1080ti and have it over clocked some temps never pass 60c

[@GreggRoberts]

I bought the 115i crapellix 280. It has the enhanced mood lighting. Fans plus radiator = 53mm but my case is wide. I have four 140's in and two out (rad). There is a breeze coming through the rad even if the fans aren't spinning. I even added a fan to the bottom but I kept the psu cables messy in order to deflect some of the wind.

[@DustyTheDog]

I bought an original H100i back in 2014 and I really enjoyed it. I used it to overclock my FX 8320 to 4.56ghz in an attempt to push some more use out of it. That cooler went out on me late last year(evap through the rubber tubes? It sounded all sloshy inside), so I got a H100i Pro from Best Buy for 110$(cheaper than my original I got from NewEgg haha). I have since upgraded and I use it on my R7 2700X. It keeps me cool and while on full load I don't get over 65c on non-overclocked 2700X. I would recommend it. 👍🏻 EDIT: something I would like to add is that when I had the rad fans set to output the air the PC acted as a space heater in my small room. I have switched them to intake and the heat output is now low enough my room doesn't get hot. There is now a nice positive pressure inside the case, too. The case gets warm to the touch. My GPU is unaffected by this, I was worried at first about this. I also have it mounted slightly to the side. I have a honeycomb patter on the top of my case. As you mentioned my Gigabyte Aorus board has a large VRM heatsync and it interferes with my rad, I just shifted the radiator to mount in the honeycomb instead of the fan mounting holes. It works just as it would normally, but is slightly offset when I take off the side panel.

[@tec9609]

Me when im going all out on a liquid cooler: I just want the one with 3 fans not 2 or 1 3!

[@clagadin71]

Thanks for this. Ive been looking into getting into water cooling with my new build, and I know AIO's are the best first step into it. Looking to actually OC my Ryzen 7 2700X thats currently sitting at stock speeds with the stock cooler.

[@SpencerBaum]

You didn't include the asetek 645lt, the only 92mm aio on the market!

[@zentriceggofficial]

Let's put it this way... modding a mazda MX5 car rad and utilising the 2 x 12 inch car rad fans produced a similar noise to a C130 aircraft. Amazing sound.

[@AkimboWiiMotes]

You give so much information that at the end of the video I have no idea what I just watched.

[@Maroco918]

But Linus said to buy a Noctua!?

[@8bitsamurai6]

Cant go wrong with noctua. But some times you need watch. I'm thinkin going back in my ncase cuz starting to get hot with long sessions. But maybe just a thermal issue.

[@a64738]

Noctua 15 beats the smaller AIOs in all tests I have seen. My old Schyte Ninja 3 cube heapipe cooler keep my 4,,7Ghz 8 Core Xeon running 230W under 85C when running all 8 cores 4,7Ghz 100% use... Also why do everyone mount their water cooler radiators inside the PC case? With water cooling you can mount them outside where you get better cooling and have no limit on size...

[@broderp]

Lol, saw that video as well. He then has a video advertising for water cooling. He seems to follow the cash flow, to many ads and I even saw him doing an ad for some product while wating for another unrelated video to start....

I mean, technically exponents are asymtotes, the opposite of an exponential curve is a logarithmic curve.

[@vax6575]

What I always do is get the biggest AIO my case will support and get all of the Noctua fans that my case can hold including replacing the AIO fans with Noctuas.
