I don’t really care for looks I just want something that has good performance and not trash.

Im currently using a deepcool LT520 on a 14600k at 5.8ghz, peaking at 200w in cinebench and this cooler is able to keep it bellow 90C.

The only cons that i see is the fan noise at full speed 3000rpm but you can get a silent AIO like Arctic Liquid Freezer II that performs equally if not better

that’s not fan speed, that’s pump speed. just put a system together with the lt720 yesterday. unless you have a bad mobo or miswired the fans, your AIO fans can be controlled separately from the pump and should run at typical 120mm noise levels. usually you’ll have significant headroom to turn down the fan curve when you’re not all core rendering.

question though - does your lt520 pump produce a quite loud high pitched whine whenever it’s active? mine does, it’s by far the loudest thing in my case when my case fans aren’t on full blast (which is almost never) and it seems like a defect. probably gonna return to amazon and reorder
