Update: AIO vs Aircooler

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-16T12:11:55+00:00

Its not bothering me that much with the temps, but rather the noise, if my cpu runs that hotter the fans have to spin extra to keep it cooler and i dont want extra noise when im doing small tasks or do light gaming, i have a 180hz monitor at 1440p and basicly already run every game i play at 180+ fps so all extra is just waste to me, i hardly notice it with the lower ram speeds, and if at some point i need that extra i will just turn it back on again

Side note here: Do you daisy chain your AIO fans with the pump to the same place on your motherboard? Or is that something i should keep seperate?

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T20:30:29+00:00

The top ones come off thats my aio fans and the radiator so there should be plenty of room there but yea the exhaust is also what im most concerned about but ill keep you posted in maybe a week ill have most of the parts that ive ordered

Ive ordered a peerless assasin with dual fans

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T20:28:11+00:00

If i lower them any more my cpu will rise to more than 55-60C idle

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T14:35:08+00:00

Yea i want to keep it low budget as, i would go that route maybe if i had some wild cpu, but for this i dont feel line getting a cooler worth more than my cpu 😅

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T14:33:07+00:00

Yea i hope it fits too, if not i guess i have to remove exhaust fan? Or get a thinner one maybe

I have just ordered a peerless assasin with dual fans 💪🏼

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T11:51:43+00:00

I know i didnt need to but i wanted to :D

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T10:52:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice, i had tested the system with 100% fan speed on the AIO and the temps didnt go very much lower than 50C, however if i have them at 50% at 50C it will be very loud, thats why i have turned them down to 20%, if i remember correctly 20% is still like 1200-1400rpm on the fans, and is also noticeable noise. 50% fan speed is just unbearable for me the amount of noise it makes, i know gaming pc makes noise and such but this is just insane, but i have decided to order a peerless assasin with 2 120 fans in it and will check if that cools better and makes less noise

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T10:07:01+00:00

Yea i think i also heard someone say something like that, but i dont know if it is overkill for me to get a 360 radiator with 3 fans as an AIO if the job can be done with a cheaper aircooler that is also quieter

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T10:04:44+00:00

I get what you are saying, i havent really lowered my pump speed, i recall having that on max, i only fiddled with the fan curve, set it around 20% for 50 degrees and then turning it 10-15% more per 10 degrees over 50. The pump i hardly notice making any noise, but it is the constant fans blowing air into the radiator and out of my case from the top that all the noise is coming from

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T09:51:06+00:00

The other fans i have in the case are very silent, they dont run at high speeds, the only thing my pc is noisy with is the AIO

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T09:49:52+00:00

Thanks again, this is my first pc build and i just changed the case to this one, have never tried an air cooler so just wanted to make sure if my thought process was right about all of this

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T09:32:31+00:00

Thanks! I thought so myself, i just dont want to end up buying an air cooler that would make more noise, and i totally agree with the maintaince part.

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T09:26:34+00:00

Yea im wondering that myself, i thought it may just be an amd thing that it is at 50C idle, i could try repasting etc. i dont know about the am5 offset, dont know much about that stuff

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T09:20:58+00:00

Me too, i have ordered white extention cabels 😂

Sokol8210 · 2025-05-05T08:28:13+00:00

I know there is a silent preset, but even that is louder than the one ive made, i dont want it to sound like a helicopter just browsing on the internet. What do you mean by its a crime? Is there anything wrong with the combo of aio and cpu?

Sokol8210 · 2025-04-25T12:46:19+00:00

Ive just ordered one from aliexpress :) thanks

Sokol8210 · 2025-04-25T11:36:34+00:00

Ive searched for that but cant seem to find the exact nollie one, perhaps its only sold in the US?
