Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for an AIO cooler for my 7800x3d and the O11 Vision Compact case. I have a few options in mind based on looks since I plan to swap the fans for some TL m12s. Here are the prices I'm seeing: 4,600 Turkish Liras for the Lt720, 4,719 for the Galahad II Lite Performance, 4,637 for the ASUS Prime LC 360, and 5,237 for the Corsair Nautilus. There's also the LS 720 SE for 4,213 Turkish Liras. For context, 1 USD is about 40-41 Turkish Liras. I'm totally open to recommendations and I'm hoping for something that lasts around 5 years. One big concern is that I can't stand high radiator noise. Thanks in advance!

If you're set on getting an AIO, make sure it connects to USB so you get diagnostic info like pump speed and fluid temperature. Some come with 5-6 year warranties, which usually means they're well-built. Just a heads-up: cheap AIOs have given the category a bad reputation, so choose wisely!
Don’t waste your money on an AIO. A Deep Cool unit will do the job just as well, and even a good air cooler is fine for AMD CPUs because they generate way less heat than Intel chips.
Honestly, for a CPU that runs around 70W under load and peaks at 120W, almost any 240mm or dual tower air cooler will work just fine. You really don't need a big or fancy AIO.
When you say "best," it really depends on what you're looking for. If it's aesthetics, just pick the one that looks the coolest to you. Remember, radiators themselves don’t make noise; the pump and fans do. You can always swap out the fans if noise becomes an issue.
I’d recommend skipping the AIO altogether. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit is a great option as AIOs are pretty much overkill for the 7800x3d, especially since you can't really overclock them anyway.
