Simple Questions - September 26, 2020

I'm building my first gaming PC in a Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh RGB case. The case has 240mm space at the top and I'm looking to fit a liquid cooler there and use the 3 front fans as intake.

Are there any recommendations for a good 240mm liquid cooler?

So far I've narrowed it down to the following

  • Corsair Hydro H100i RGB Platinum (RBG appeal mainly)
  • NZXT Kraken x53 (used a lot in build videos and looks nice)
  • Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 (bland but apparently good)

All 3 of these have mixed reviews when I've researched them.

Before anyone suggests air cooling it was my first thought and I was going to go for a Dark Rock Pro 4 but I got a set of G.Skill Trident Z RGB really cheap and I'd like to not hide my expensive motherboard and ram behind a chunk of metal that will leave very little if any clearance from my ram.
