Hey there hi there ho there!
Just got a question about Cpu cooling on a ryzen 1800x.
Atm i'm using a old Zalman air cooler (i believe it's the 9600 Silent but can be mistake the exact "type"), anyway my pc have shut down 3 times this deu to "high/overheating temprature"..... which is not exactly treu but the MB tells me it's overheating while AMD master still show around 62 degrees celcius.
But since the CPU cooler is pretty old, and everything in my system is "brand new" i'm deciding to purchase a new CPU cooler.
Till now i have only had experiance with air cpu cooler and i'm looking at a AIO Cpu cooler, the reason why i'm looking for AIO is because i don't want no huge ugly Skyscraper... those things just look hideous is you ask ruining my whole pc build :S
Now i would to know if anyone else have any experiance with those AIO cpu coolers ?
How about noise production ?
And are they reliable ? (no leaking etc..... which is one of my main fears, computers and water don't go together all t well :P)
The brand/cooler i'm looking at is the NZXT Kraken X62, so if any got any experiance with this particulair cooler i would love to hear it :D!

Who cares about aesthetics when it comes to function. Cannot get better than the Noctua D15 for air. Have no issue with having two sticks of ram with that cooler installed. The outside fan just needs to be raised a tiny bit to accommodate large heat spreaders. Choosing form over function is way too limiting. Only one way to get both...custom water loop. If performance is not the main goal than form over function is fine. That cooler is why made sure my case mounted the board horizontally.

Wait,a pc with the D15 is supposed to stay horizontally?

I run an Arctic Cooling Freezer 360 in a push/pull config with the included fans. I have no complaints but being a 360mm rad, it requires a roomy case with a lot of clearance for those 6 fans and the rad. The case I am running it in is a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe with the tempered glass window. There is more than enough room in that case for just about any setup.

That three (six) fan 360mm radiator liquid cooling looks great. I almost went with something similar for my build but got worried about leaks so went with the Noctua D15S air cooler with its huge size. I know modern AIO liquid coolers have become quiet reliable, but as with all things there must be an increased probability of failure over time, and I tend to keep computers a long time. I have never seen a failure rate curve plotted out to, say, 10 years but would love to see one. Is there a negligible failure rate that is constant over time or is there a point in time where failures accelerate rapidly? I have no idea.
