AIO cooler for CPU water cooling.
AIO cooler for CPU water cooling.
Hello. You're looking for a compact AIO cooler around 240mm with a maximum height under 23mm. With a budget of £160, you have some flexibility to find a good option. I've checked the market and noticed that Corsair iCUE models tend to be at least 4mm taller than your requirement. Consider exploring other brands or models within your price range for a suitable fit.
I’m also just starting out with modding, so having a simple installation guide would be really useful.
I really don’t know what to do with CPU coolers. Air coolers are tricky because I don’t like their appearance and my micro-ATX board makes it tough to pick one that won’t damage my RAM. I’d also prefer an AIO cooler since I have many overheating problems and a strong cooler would make a big difference.
However, that wouldn't work since the smallest fans are 15mm and the thinnest rads exceed 25...
According to the case specifications, you can install an AIO. Check the maximum clearance. You should be able to fit a slim radiator and fans. If it's under 35mm, use air cooling.
The front holds a 240mm radiator with less than 64mm thickness, while the top can accommodate up to a 240mm radiator. The overall height stays under 23mm, and the back supports a 120mm radiator also below 64mm thickness. Front or back parts aren't needed since fans are already installed there.
