Upgrading my AIO from a NZXT X62 kraken to a Corsair H170i
15I finally decided to upgrade my AIO which was necessary because the X62 kraken was getting a bit old at this point. Also, this gave me more RAM clearance, an LCD for temperature readouts and (hopefully in the future) the ability to rotate the things shown on the LCD.
I went for the Corsair H170i Elite LCD AIO which is a triple 140mm radiator allowing for ultimate silent performance. At least that is what I though before I found out that the pump cannot be set to a slower speed, so it still makes a bit more noise at idle than my NZXT. At full power it does cool better and it quieter but the fact that I cannot manually slow the pump down to super low RPM to get it to be death silent on idle is a big oversight in my opinion.
Due to fitment issues, I will have to make a new PSU shroud but that will be a project for later ;)
