AIO Coolers

Inviere

Folks, am considering either a Kraken X41, or a Kraken X42 for an mitx build using a 7600, but have noted a LARGE difference in price between both coolers (£55 versus £115 accordingly). Both are 140mm in size, and barring the RGB lighting of the X42, I'm not sure there's enough in the difference to warrant going with the X42.

I'm aware anything less than 240mm with AIO coolers tend not to have the best efficiency, compared to higher end air coolers...but I've used an X31 (120mm) in a similar build and was very happy with it, so want to stick with AIO's

Have you considered the Arctic Liquid Freezer 120? It's cheaper and , afaik, better reviewed.

Not yet, will take a look - cheers!

Seems a sweet little cooler, unlikely it'll fit in a Core V1 though unfortunately. At least, I cant see any builds of the two...
