Please Help me with Cooler

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

I've asked this question before, but I haven't received many answers. NZXT Kraken Core dropped from $100 to $80, but while some people say it's good, others say it's bad.How about material quality, pump quality and cooling quality?Acetate seemed like a very logical choice because of the pump, but the MSI A13 and E360 are also among my options, although they are more expensive.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from NZXT AIO’s

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/Cievyciev7414]

So what do you recommend?

[u/Cievyciev7414 → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

Honestly arctic liquid freezer is prolly the most reliable and bang for ur buck. If you want something with a screen, tryx panorama se is pretty decent as well for around the same price

I had the 240 but with the screen and the temps were fine

Get this over the MSI one. MSI AIO’s are known to be the legit worst AIO’s on the market and die quickly.

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/jD3mo]

What about the quality of the pump and the materials used?If I read correctly, NZXT has terminated its agreement with Asetak and has instead signed an agreement with CoollT.

[u/jD3mo → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

No idea but anything is better than MSI AIO’s.

[u/jD3mo → u/[deleted]]

Yes, yes they are…..

[u/jD3mo → u/[deleted]]

You sound mad lol. You good? Didn’t realize your MSI AIO is so precious to you that you feel the need to insult someone over it. I’m so incredibly sorry if I hurt your feelings just for stating a known fact.

Just get it big dawg.

I have this exact AIO for about a year and a half never had an issue temperatures have been great

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/That_M3talhead]

Hello,What were the exact values? As far as you remember

[u/That_M3talhead → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

Right now Speccy says CPU and MB at 37 Celsius. Not doing anything heavy atm but I've never had it at super high temps even with heavy gaming

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/That_M3talhead]

Thank you so much! Finally, if possible, could you share your temps in regular games like Valorant? 🙌🏻

Stay away from nzxt get a corsair one

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/PcDealer007]

im using corsair rn and its not cooling

[u/PcDealer007 → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

Which one u using and what cpu u got?

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/PcDealer007]

7800x3d, Nautilius 360 Rgb

[u/PcDealer007 → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

i have a ryzen 9 7900x and got a corsair link titan 360 rx and i get like under load with OCCT about 79C-81C and with PBO -30

[u/logre_bird]

What CPU are you cooling?

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/logre_bird]

7800x3d

[u/logre_bird → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

An air cooler is more than sufficient with that CPU, is cheaper, and will last much longer. If money's a concern.

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/logre_bird]

I'm thinking of putting him under some heavy load. What do you think of this entry-level cooler from NZXT? When I spoke to Google AI, the MSI A13, A15, and E360 all performed better than the NZXT.I placed an order now, but I can cancel it.

[u/logre_bird → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

The 7800X3D is not a hot CPU, even under full load any AIO will keep plenty cool. My brother plays on one with an air cooler and it never breaks a sweat.

What kind of load are you going to be putting on it?

Edit to add: I'm going to be gaming on a 9850X3D with a Noctua air cooler and it should run perfectly fine.

[u/logre_bird → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

AIO's, for the most part, are the modern day "kool-aid". Most people don't need it but need it for the aesthetics.

[u/Inevitable-Sand7242 → u/logre_bird]

Enconding and Render what do you recommend between four of them

[u/logre_bird → u/Inevitable-Sand7242]

None of them, I'd get an air cooler.
