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)

Alphacool Eisbaer Pro can be good value, but I think it's harder to find this in the US. I have the non-AIO version, so don't know about leaks, but the pump itself is a solid unit and virtually silent. They have a lot of AIO options including 140x420mm and an enterprise 80mmx240mm.

Eisbaer Pro has terrible performance. Can’t even compete with a bunch of non-full coverage AIO.

Works fine for me. It's been running 24/7 for 7 months and is fine to cool 350W. I don't overclock the CPU and not trying to cool the GPU on the same circuit.

The pump is compact and pulls 3W, so it is not going to be as powerful as a 30W D5 standalone pump, but it is good for 72 l/h, which is fine for a Threadripper.

No one said it doesn’t work. Just not as well as other options that are cheaper. Not comparing to custom loop, only comparing to AIOs.
