420mm AIO
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Now if u have a 13900k/14900k then yeah a 420 might make things easier as that thing is insane with the amount of heat it can put out
- 420mm AIO is absolutely overkill for a 9850x3d under gaming conditions, but it’s probably what you want if you care that much about noise. All the cooling overhead means you can set a pretty quiet fan curve
- get a decent 360mm or i would even get a 420mm if you can fit it.
Cons
- Placement options for 420s are certainly more limited, even though technically both cases accept them.
- 420 is heavier and unwieldy, id keep the 360. Very few cases can take a 420, even my meshify case advertises 420 but it's on a technicality, you can only fit a slim 420 radiator in here with slim fans, so it doesn't even count.
- If 360mm can easily handle it, then, 420mm won’t make a difference. Now, if talking Intels hot beast, like 14900K, 420mm should be better.
