LGA1700 use an included contact frame for mounting.

This is a thick AIO (38mm rad alone) so check clearance in your case.

    I am so tempted but can't justify this for the 7800X3D other than just a tiny bit of PBO :/

    • mckayver on 16/10/2024 - 01:48

      Will probably need it for the 9800x3d next month.

    looks like a great first post to me:)

  • yellowrhino93 on 16/10/2024 - 02:48

    Fair warning to anyone mounting this on AMD. This was a nightmare….but it's an A++ cooler

      really? why is that? mine was an absolute breeze, nfi what gamersnexus etc was on about unless they fixed the issue after all the reviewers got them

        Agree, fitted mine last night and couldn't see any issues.

    In the process of building a new PC and I cannot make up my mind about going with an AIO or a tradional fan cooler. Last night I was dead set on going for fan cooler, but now I see this post and I am undecided again 😅. My case is quite big (fractal design North XL) so I have no space restrictions. No rush to build, so I will keep thinking about it a bit longer.

      AIO is a no brainier. Better looking, cooler and quieter. I’ve got 2 gaming PCs and a work PC all cooled with AIO and will never consider fan cooling again

      • DiscountForThee on 16/10/2024 - 09:29

        quieter

        This is definitely my main draw.

      I haven't used a traditional fan cpu cooler in over 10 years. AIO is the way to go

        likewise - my last HSF build was a pimped C2Q in 2008

        then moved to custom WC loops for while, and now AIO for builds since Skylake

        ALFs are sweet

      The choice largely depends on whether you’re opting for Intel or AMD. If you're using Intel and want more headroom for PL2 (Maximum turbo power) boosts, I'd suggest going for an AIO cooler. The greater thermal mass helps manage sudden spikes in CPU temperature more effectively. That said, noise shouldn't be a major concern in a larger system, whether you're using an AIO or air cooling.

      A 240mm AIO is generally superior as it features a large radiator, pump, coolant, and 2 fans. It outshines most air cooling options simply because of the higher thermal mass, and the ability for 2 fans to exhaust directly out of the case. One major downside is that they pretty much only last ~3 years before they start experiencing issues.
      A Fractal Design North XL can support 3 140 fans on the front (Intake), 3 120 fans on the top (Exhaust) and 1 rear 140 fan (Exhaust). If you're cooling a 14700k/9950x or less, you can cool it with any air cooler design rated for 250w tdp (PL2 turbo boost). I'd have to recommend an AIO for 13900k/14900k. Also, if you're paring it with a gpu like the 4090, then thats when you really should consider it. For your design, if you do end up sticking with an AIO, it's recommended you put it in the front mount for the longevity of the aio pump.

      For those wanting to learn more, PC cooling can be understood in terms of thermal mass and the system’s ability to dissipate heat. If your CPU struggles with heavy workloads within the first five minutes (assuming everything is installed correctly), it's likely a thermal mass issue, and upgrading to a larger air or liquid cooling solution would help.

      If the system’s heat gradually increases until it results in errors, consider upgrading your heat dissipation capabilities. This could mean adding more fans, improving your fan layout, or opting for higher quality fans. We’ve only seen these issues more recently, with motherboard manufacturers—and likely Intel—removing PL2 caps on high-end LGA1700 boards to manipulate performance data in their favour.

      With this knowledge, you can also design systems for space-constrained environments and make better purchasing decisions. A 240mm AIO isn't really necessary to cool an 8-core 7800X3D. There are much cheaper alternatives, or if you're keen, you could even use a compact ITX cooler like the AXP120x67 in a small form factor case.

    This the thickness of the radiator with fans for this AIO is above the norm and will not fit into sone PC cases. I found this out after buying this and will now need to buy another mid tower to fit it.

  • sim777 on 16/10/2024 - 11:09

    Anyone know whether this will fit into asus AP201? Currently got a Pearless assassin on a 7800x3d without issues but really like the look of an AIO. Is this over the top?
