120mil AIO
120mil AIO
it's currently using the Alienware logoed 120mil AIO, but the system slows down after roughly five minutes of operation. when the case is opened, it runs smoothly again. i think better airflow could help, though that isn't feasible in this setup.
The 10700F has a power rating of 65W, so a standard all-in-one cooler should work well as long as it gets enough airflow to the radiator. Are there any space limitations? A 240mm model remains affordable and offers extra room if temperatures rise.
the available space accommodates just a 120, though it might fit a thick radiator, and the country’s budget prefers keeping it below $100 USD
Fortunately, this model includes a typical 4-pin fan connector and a 4-pin pump connector, with standard mounting seams as well.
In that situation, I’d avoid 120mm AIOs. I dug into 120mm AIOs and discovered few choices, mostly outdated ones. It looks like they’re no longer common, probably because the situations where a 120mm AIO is needed—like with low-profile Thermalright air coolers or compact tower coolers—are still effective, if not better. Having purchased around half a dozen of these over the years, especially using NZXT Kraken G10 brackets, I still own one Corsair 120mm AIO.
