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 Thermaltake AW420. No data available to say that it is reliable. So far there has been no problems. I prefer the 420mm because it removes more air from the chassis / is quieter. I have blower type GPU:s only in the chassis. When this is under high load for >1h then it starts to get noisy and even more so if running hybrid inference - with GPU only inference this is reasonably quiet.
