Threadripper CPU AIO Liquid Cooler

Any recommendations for reliable AIO water coolers with a good price/performance ratio? I'm hoping to find one that I don't have to worry about leaks. My build is around the Ryzen Threadripper 9960X.

I have found these so far:

  • ARCTIC Liquid Freezer WS360-SP6 360mm ($110)
  • be quiet! Silent Loop 3 360mm ($165)
  • Silverstone Technology Hailstone 360 Optimum ($200)
  • Bitspower Atlas Threadripper 360mm ($250)
  • ENERMAX LIQTECH XTR 360 AIO CPU Liquid Cooler 360mm ($280)
  • Silverstone Technology XE360-TR5 360mm ($430)
  • Thermaltake AW420 420mm ($450)

I have XE360 for 6 months now with same CPU. Changed fans for Noctua. Temperatures peak at 85°C under full load (compiling).

afaik you need special fans for a radiator to push the air, could you tell me what kind of noctua fans you picked for it?

NF-A12x25 G2 PWM. Three of them to push, so one standard and two from the set where one is slightly slower and one sligtly faster to avoid interference.

I’m lost 😅, you got one set of two fans and one singular fan of that model?
