Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Would you be able to advise between these two coolers please:

Not really sure on those to be honest. What about this from Takealot?

One of the reviews?

Really decent AIO for the price, this replaced an aging first generation Corsair H100I Gtx and it seems to cool my overclocked 6700k more efficiently. The included fans are incredibly silent and look nice with the rgb effects.

This was actually the initial one that was recommended. Neoprad said it wasn't that great though which is why I asked for these other 2.

And my other concern was just the possibility of it leaking

I might just go with this.
 
I’m using the Lian-Li Galahad 240mm AIO on my 3700X and it works a charm.

Gamers Nexus does a lot of this testing and the 360 is in the top 3 or 5, can’t recall offhand. Worth a look, they’re well made, look good and perform excellently.

What's a good mid rand GFX these days? Looking to build a PC in the new year - I will be playing ACC mostly.

A midrange graphics card would be the 3060.

Depends on budget really but in terms of performance it’s about that or a 6600XT.

Ah sorry, just the reviews on it seemed good.

It's not a bad product, just poorly-priced when judged on thermal performance.

It's marginally better than the Hyper 212 option and costs a lot more.
 
EventHorizon said:
So they have recommended me 2 more cooler options. He said he checked with his tech department and these offer cover if the component fails and damages other components.
Which is great for peace of mind. Was wondering which of these you would reccomend (If you know anything about either... and I promise this will be my last question xD)

The Corsair from those options, NZXT is over-priced though it's nice to hear their warranty is decent.

I'll see what I have in the loan PC now; which works just fine. I think it's a 1080 or something. What is today's equivalent of that?

1080 or 1080ti? If it's the ti then the 3060 :-)
 
Priapus said:
No idea; I'll check later. But the 3060 is 10k. FML. And is it any good?
Click to expand...
Roughly equivalent to (maybe slightly slower than) a 6600XT, but it does support RTX and DLSS which makes it a no brainer, if you can find them.
 
Priapus said:
So if you guys had 10k to spend on a card; today, what would it be\?

If I had a 1080 or 1080ti as you suspect you might have I would not waste the money on a new gpu as whatever you buy with that R10k won't be much of an upgrade. If you're gaming at 1080p there's even less of a reason to upgrade as you should not have issues playing new aaa titles.

If you have a 1080, 10k won't get you much of an improvement, sadly. Such is the state of the GPU market.

If you can stick with the 1080, I'd do that for now. If not, 3060.

So.. I need a build myself a new PC early next year.
