Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and I've chosen the 9700x CPU. I already have a 120mm AIO from my brother's old build, and while it's decent, I'm considering upgrading to a 240mm AIO for better cooling. I'm leaning towards brands like NZXT or Arctic, but they're hard to find where I live in Iran. I've come across a lot of DeepCool options, and their designs are pretty appealing, but I've heard that some models can be quite noisy. I'm looking for advice: are there any reliable DeepCool AIOs? Or should I steer clear of them altogether? Also, is it feasible to keep using my current 120mm AIO?

Honestly, I'd suggest considering an air cooler instead. However, if your case only has two fans, you might need to invest in a couple of additional fans, which could add to the cost. Just something to think about!
I got an LS720 SE about 14 months ago, and while mine is still running, my friend's failed after just 7 months. It really depends on luck with these things. After he switched to an Arctic Liquid Freezer III, his idle temps improved a lot, which might help you if you go that route. If your 120mm AIO isn't giving you high temps, maybe it’s fine to stick with it for now!
Thanks for the insight!
I've been using a DeepCool LT520 240mm AIO in my gaming rig, and it's been solid for a couple of years. No noise issues either, but keep in mind that my PC is in a basement rackmount case, so that could muffle the sound a bit. Overall, I’ve had a good experience with it!
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing.
You make a good point, but I'm worried about the added cost of fans...
