Which of these water coolers is the best?
Hey everyone, by the end of the month I’ll have my new PC. It’s going to have a Ryzen 5 1600 and I’m planning to install it somewhere between 3.6 and 3.8 (whatever gives me 60 fps on BF1 MPG). There are a few coolers that look good for me, and I’d like to know which one is the best.
Hi guys, by the end of the month I’m getting my new PC. I’ll be installing a Ryzen 5 1600 and aiming for an OC between 3.6 and 3.8 (to maintain 60 fps on BF1 MPG). There are several coolers that look suitable, and I’d like to know which one is the best.
First ----COOLERMASTER MasterLiquid ML240L RGB
Second---- CORSAIR Hydro Series H45
Third----NZXT Kraken M22
All three are decent options. The Corsair H45 or the CoolerMaster Masterliquid would stand out to me. The second generation Zen+ just came out, and they overclock much better, so I’d suggest going for the newer chips if possible. Generally, a single AIO radiator should handle a first-gen Ryzen chip well, especially since 4GHz is a good target.

All three are decent options. The Corsair H45 or the CoolerMaster Masterliquid would stand out to me. The second generation Zen+ just came out, and they overclock significantly better, so I’d suggest going for the newer chips if possible. Generally, a single AIO radiator should be fine for overclocking a first-gen Ryzen chip, especially since 4GHz is a good target.
I've tried both the Cooler Master ML240 and the Kraken M22 personally. I wonder why you only mentioned liquid coolers and not any air coolers? There are many high-quality tower coolers available, and air cooling removes the risk of leaks. Plus, they tend to be more affordable and quieter than some liquid coolers. Of course, it depends on your case—smaller mid-tower or SFF cases might not fit a large tower cooler.
the reason i didn't choose a good air cooler is because if i spend more than 50 dollars on cooling, i want liquid cooling instead. it's just because it looks very beautiful. air coolers are too big and don't have a fine aesthetic, that's just my opinion. i'm deciding between the COOLERMASTER MasterBox Lite 5 RGB, nzxt s340 or corsair carbide 100r. i know the prices are very different for these options.
It ultimately depends on the appearance, not the functionality. Many high-quality air coolers are quieter than AIO liquid coolers.

I know the prices are very different for these options. There are actually some really nice-looking tower coolers for less than 50 dollars, and some even offer decent AIO liquid coolers at a lower price.
