Nice. When I posted the 120mm version of this, I didn't think to click on the 240mm, since it wasn't listed in the weekend ad pages like the 120mm was.

I actually forgot about this one on sale until i saw your post for the 120MM version. I figured i'd post this deal too since it's only $10 more for a 240MM Rad.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Yeah, thanks. I wish I had known, would have gotten two of these instead. So I guess I'll double-down, and get two 240mm Lite models too.

If you want to do SERIOUS Ryzen overclocking, you really want the 240mm Rads, and not the 120mm, which are barely better than "big air cooling".

OOS now, I bought the 120 earlier today for $29 shipped. Yea, I saw the "be quiet BK-109" while poking around, it's rated at 250W but shi*, it's the size of a small meat-loaf with fan's on it and comes in at a whopping 3lbs. Not cheap either, one also wonders if they are approaching the weight limitation's a MOBO can take.

Alive again!

This should be plenty big for a Ryzen 7 1700 that I might mildly OC?

edit-Well, I looked at my case, and I have a top fan outlet and rear fan outlet, but both are for single fans. So I guess I will have to go for the 120mm single.

This is a nice deal, but I am (and always will be) too chicken

Should be plenty. You can always add or change fans as needed.

I hear you there, Im afraid of leaks, and/or dead pump frying my cpu, hence y I got that huge sucker of a heat sink in my sig, was supposedly rated as/almost as good as watercooling. But I so want to play with one of these really bad, and the prices keep coming down, and down, and down

Don't wait, NE has both sizes back on sale and both are in stock, last time the 240 sold out quickly. For moderate OC'ing you can stick with the 120 and you will find nothing using air that remotely comes close at $29.

I with you Funboy6942,

I like the way water cooling looks, performs, but I am just too chicken to use it myself. I always say "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all".

Meh, no real need for worry, these are factory-sealed units, that's the beauty of the AIO design. When you start to get into custom units that include the GPU or chipset as well, then things get complicated. I haven't heard of any AIO's leaking, if you wanted there's no reason you could not apply power to the unit before installing on your MB, that might give you some peace of mind.

I know the risk is tiny. I guess it's just my OCD that keeps me from doing it. Another example is my wife's car. It states it can go up 10,000 miles or 1 year on a oil change. It also states the oil filter only needs changed every other oil change. However, every 6-9 months I change it, with a new filter. My mind prevents me from doing that as well.

I didnt just go spend $89 on my bad butt air cooler to buy a $40 water cooler that could spring a leak and take out my $400 video card and $300 cpu in the process, or pump give out and cook my $300 cpu. As stated, my cooler was tested against some water coolers and stuck right up there with them, and I have kick butt air flow, so no worries if if I dont have that covered as well

Id like to play with one, but Id never, ever, keep it in there, as like usandthem, my ocd will lgo off the chart worrying all the time and always looking in there for a leak, or watching my sensors for the tiniest change in temps waiting for a pump failure. I know, I know, my board is set up if that pump should quit, but its still on the back of my head, and I have enough crap in there messing with it

Holy aluminum meat-loaf Batman!, that thing is HUGE!. If anything, a pump failure would be what happens and I'll just set up realtemp to shut down the rig or send an alert at a pre-determined temp. I think your air-cooler is at the edge of what amount of weight a MB can support, it must weigh 3lbs or so.

Well car owners-manuals are not so hot IMO anyway, mine calls for coolant replacement every 100K miles, I do it every 30K. The tranny says every 100K, I did one at 50, one at 85 and now at 105 I'm going to do another. Most vehicles have an oil-life monitor system, GM's has been shown to be pretty accurate so I'll let it go to 15% life left and change it. I can tell it's factoring in different driving since I now only drive 2.5 miles to work it degrades the oil life much faster (which is correct) since short trips are not great for a vehicle.

My wife's car is a Honda, with an oil life monitor, and her miles are 99% highway. And I still can't allow myself to wait for the monitor to say "time to change". I buy Mobil 1 when it's on rebate (5 quarts for like $10 after rebate), and I will change it around 8,000 miles without fail. Maybe it's because growing up, it was always do it at 3,000 miles or "your car will explode" commercials

Now Mobil 1 even has "Annual Protection" oil they claim works for up to 20,000 miles. It probably does, but I could never ever even think of doing that

I've had a Corsair water cooler on my PII X6 system for 6 years now. No problems yet but it is set to shut down at some predetermined temp, although I don't remember what I set it for. I'll do the same for this one.

I changed the oil in my Honda whenever the reminder came up- usually about 10K and had the oil sent to a lab. It showed about 50% life remaining. After that, never before 10K again. Waste of time and money. But, I understand the OCD thing...

I've been running these AIO Water coolers for years now and never had one leak. Keep in mind, my PCs are on 24/7. I have two systems acting as servers (8 HDDs in RAID0+1 running Linux), and one of those system has a cooler that has been running constantly for over 5 years, constantly.

You are more likely to win the lottery than you are of having a leak.

I bought some Chinese knockoff of an AIO 120MM cooler that was leaking in the box before it ever shipped. Other than that, I’ve had many of these units without issue. I don’t think any CPUs that are within 8-10yrs old could fry themselves due to pump failure causing heat. They all thermal throttle, and eventually shut down. As for leaking on a video card and killing it, I don’t know what they use in their loops, but I’ve had distilled water in a custom loop drip onto a video card, and into my power supply. It’s non conductive, so it won’t fry your stuff. Just shut it down and let it dry for a few hours.

Then 2 of my buddies that asked me what I thought of water cooling, and told them, and decided to get one anyway, and got leaks, never shared their lottery winning with me, what jerks they are and it took one of them their mobo, and graphics card, and my other friend, his graphics card with the leak, so Ill just keep play the lottery and win it, then buy a water cooler and I hope you knocked on some wood when you made that comment :O. I also read the comments on some of the water coolers, and yes they scare me when I hear them comment, it leaked in a month of use, or pump gave out in 3 months and fried my cpu, so again, my OCD, just keeps say, NO Jay, NO, keep using your hunk o metal and watch that video I posted, for as I said, the one I picked out, yes may be big on the die, but so is the radiator you have to mount somewhere in the case, but it keeps right up there with the water coolers, so Im more then happy with having a huge one right there in the middle of my board. And I know what is in these things isnt supposed to fry anything, but it did, sprung a leak and shorted the stuff out. replaced the water cooling with air, and after replacing the board/graphics cards they leaked on, then the computers came back on, but once leaked onto, putting heatsinks back on, they did nothing at all, the one with the mobo, wouldnt even power, and the one with the graphics card would power on with a blank screen, then replaced the graphics card with one I had laying around, and then it posted.

As far as my heatsink weight, it really doesnt weigh that much at all, and has the best mounting hardware of any on the market to date as of yet of any air cooler.

So I guess what Im saying, is if you want better kick butt cooling then this in the op, though not really knocking it if water cooling is your bag, baby, but want some heavy overclocking, look into whats in my sig, it was pitted up again some big boys and held its own and no leaks, its air cooled, so you can do air, overclock, and not have to have water to do it, check out the video I linked in one of my replies, they tested it up against several water coolers. Yes its $40~ more, but mine is for serious overclocking fun if not, and you gotta have water cooling, then YES, this is a STEAL for $40 shipped!!!

 

[BUTCH1]

Thing is, water cooling goes from simple AIO's like I bought to systems that have block's on the CPU, GPU, Northbridge, and yes, even RAM. With added complexity and numerous fittings your odd's of a mishap go up considerably. I tested the temp's at the output of my radiator, at 100% CPU load it was 23.3 degrees above ambient, that's heat that cannot swirl around inside the case and even better the fan is increasing case ventilation on the whole. As for CPU temps, at 100% load I max out around 55C, (according to RealTemp) MSI after-burner list's it as 63C, I'm not sure which one is more accurate, I'll have to check into that. Either way I dropped 25C for a $29 cooler, NFW I ever look back now.

FYI this is back at Newegg for $40, or same price at Amazon with a $10MIR to bring it down to $30.

Thanks 96Firebird, i edited the title and the deal is back on again!

 

[spdfreak]

I'm using the single fan version of this on my new Ryzen 1700X and it works really well. Showing idle temps at 35deg C with room temp at 70F. There was no way to fit the dual fan version in my case.
