Thanks. I was just interested because I'm looking for a cooler for a future build with an i5 7600k.

Neither is really 'better' per say, both have pros and cons. A lot of it is personal preference / requirements. Pretty well documented the differences so decide what's most important for you; noise / performance / aesthetics / installation

Cheaper at eBuyer for £46.49 plus potential Quidco/TCB. (Plus delivery.)

Aesthetics is really the only think I see better on water coolers but like you said all personal preference :smiley:.

for a decent air cooler the price difference is negligible.

So what is the Best 240v AIO Water Cooler and what is the quietest under load?

I don't know about noise being reduced? I had a Noctua DH-15 which I replaced with a H100i V2 for about 30mins before I switched back to the noctua because of the totally different noise the pump produced and the overall higher noise levels. Loved the aesthetics of the H100i though (really the only reason I bought it) but I also love having a quiet pc :smiley:. Also pretty sure a high end air cooler like a D-15 can compete with most AIO's in temps. And like you said no worry of leaks.

That's the beauty of an aio though, it's a closed system... my H100i has been whisper quiet as a side note. loved being able to control it from the software too.

Not sure if water and 240 volts should go together.
