      I don't understand the logic behind it. Those AM3/4 mounts are hideous and when every other socket mounting for the cooler uses a 4 point mechanism, it's just daft not to do the same for these. You even have a backplate there to use, not like 115X/1200 where they have to include a backplate.

    The temps a really good.
    Before i had 280mm aio nzxt.
    It did the job keeping gpu temps at 65-72. Hot spot 95. JT at 88.But at 98% fan speed.
    Now temps like :
    Gpu 51
    HS 86
    JT 70
    And it is all at 60% fan speed.

If it's a silent loop 2 you should be able to increase fan speeds a little to get better temperatures, but the h170i or an arctic 360/420 with their thicker rads would have more cooling potential.

    • @MakinComputers
      @MakinComputers 3 года назад +2

      I haven't had the Arctic to test, but I'll see if the powers that be will oblige. Although I've not formally tested any of the Arctic's, but have used them in builds for others and they are DEAD quiet, but the effectiveness of the H170i at really low speeds and noise levels really surprised me. Without testing I'd guess there's probably not be much in it, but the thicker rad on the liquid freezer would likely give it an edge, although not significant enough to choose one or the other based on performance alone.
      Really what you're choosing between them is their vastly contrasting aesthetics and ease of installation/cable management. One the one hand you have the Arctic;
      - Arctic liquid freezer: no lighting of any kind, fans looks great, tubing good, pump-block looks a little cockroach-ish, but in general still pretty cool looking, really good effective mounting setup, fans pre-installed and wired up, just a single pwm connector to power and control the whole thing. Simplicity at its finest.
      - Corsair H170i: ok mounting but not great on AM4 (at least you only have to do it once), deep bright lighting, excellent control software with a plethora of LED and fan control options, but that comes with lots of cables to route and manage and a sizeable controller that needs stashing somewhere.

But the differences when you get to this level of cooling are negligible and well beyond a point where they have any impact on performance. At a certain point you're no longer concerned with "is it good enough" and your choice will be down to cost, aesthetics and maybe noise, but generally a personal preference rather than a statistically superior choice.

    Corsair AIO's cable has been messy for many years, but this time, they went one step further to force you to use the icue controller for the pump, which is just unacceptable for itx builders.

    • @MakinComputers
      @MakinComputers 3 года назад

      Pretty much any fan that has 2cable RGB setup is a nightmare, unless you can trim cables you'll have a big bunched up ball of wire somewhere. You could slim the controller down a bit by removing the case and as an alternative, with a bit of experimentation you could probably find the power for the pump and leave the LEDs off so you didn't have to use the controller. This particular model likely has similar volume to some sff builds 😂

    • @AesthYT
      @AesthYT 3 года назад

      ​@@MakinComputers To be fair, not many AIOs would force you to use the controller for the pump. There is really no space for the controller in an ITX case. Given that more people are getting into ITX nowadays, Corsair probably need to re-think their aio strategy. At least go back to the previous design which allows you to use the pump without the controller, and consumers can make their own choices on the fan rgb.
      Edit: since you mentioned modding, yeah, it might work, but for some savvy builders only.

      Well for one, I'd like to know how you got fans that don't exist, seeing as the 140mm redux only go up to 1500. Secondly, it's absolutely not needed, especially push/pull. The stock fans were still keeping the 5800X in check at 500rpm. All you're doing is adding noise. If you look at the specs of the redux NF-P14 1200 which match the speed the stock ML120 RGB PROs do, the specs are very close. The redux have a very slight advantage, but nothing you'd notice at 500rpm.
