I think the pump in my 360mm AIO is starting to go or its getting kinda chunky in there, i'm not sure. Its old though. its been through 3 or 4 build/upgrade cycles so its not a huge loss.
Cant remember the exact model but its a NZXT no fancy lights or LCD screens on the pump. I've replaced the thermal paste on it and it still creeps up, last summer it would hover around mid 60's gaming with a fairly warm room and now its cooler in that same room with the case side off and its pushing 80.
before i get too far into it, its going to be strapped to a 7800 X3D on a Asrock B650E Taichi mainboard. At the moment its not overclocked....at the moment.
anyway if you saw my case thread i am looking to finish my major upgrades as to maybe last 4 years, ya know, just in case with out getting political.
I was thinking of going 420mm because why not, and i was also thinking of spending a little more on something of a little better quality. the NZXT was fine but there were some really cheap components about it.
I was also thinking of trying to find something that was all copper, so far i have only found AlphaCool AIOs with an all copper system. Its less about mixing metals, although if i keep it as long as i kept this one that could be a thing, but more about potential performance it may be diminishing returns between aluminum and copper but better is better. theres also a bling factor too even if its still all black.
i've noticed that some of the "better" AIOs are serviceable in such a way where not having mixed metals might be easier in the long run.
i donno what would you do?
would you even go 420mm or stick aith a 360mm?
i want to stick with a copper rad either way, are there any other big kits that are also all copper?
I've only found these:

and of course there are 360mm versions. i'm leaning twards the all black one, not a big fan of all of the lights. some is ok. but the 11774 has a higher static pressure (2.20 mm H2O)
