What's up guys.

So I used to have a H100i in my previous build. It was.. ok. Seemed to work fine, but like many others, I had issues with Corsair Link not working properly. I'm not really up for doing a custom loop yet, Maybe later down the road when I pick up Intel's new 6 Core I will consider a GPU/CPU loop. I was just curious if anyone else uses a AIO CPU cooler and what they think of theirs. I've been looking at some by Cooler Master, but they seem to be behind the H100i in performance. I was looking at the H100i GTX or Cooler Masters Nepton 240M or Seidon 240M (Not sure what one is better from CM). I have a Corsair 450D for my case. SO I can't fit the H105/110 or I would get one of them. I would also be up for a nice Air Cooled unit, but I think clearance would be an issue with my case.

Im using the corsair h110 in main rig and had a h100i in my AMD rig before I sold it. Both solid and keep cpu cool while gaming.

If your worried about clearance then the aio would be best option but which one? Are you looking for a AIO so you dont have to keep refilling a custom loop $$ or how about something between like the swiftech H240 its a expandable liquid cooler so you can add a gpu. Honestly if you are looking at going with the intel 6 core down the road or even custom loop I would just get a zalman or noctua air cooler or even a corsair h50 for $60 and save the money for that custom loop. Theres a many advantages and disadvantages to air, aio and custom but you need to figure what is more important and if youll have 300-600 for a custom loop.
 
I'm using the NZXT Kraken X61 it does a great job. They've got their control software, CAM, working great now even though it uses up ~100MB of RAM. The fans they use have improved as I've had three of them go out since they first released the X61 but have not had any issues with the new ones. By go out, I mean make a whining noise as they hit their peak RPM when I set CAM to 100%. NZXT offers a six year warranty and warrantying out the parts is a breeze as they just ship you new fans.

I will say this, all of the AIO are made by the same company, http://asetek.com/.
