I think you'd get a little more selling them seperately, but it'd probably be easier to sell it bundled. £115 would be a reasonable price as a bundle. You could maybe get a little more.

Alright sweet, that'll get me an AIO for my system.

I've been so confused on what to get as my next AIO cooler.
I go to a Facebook page so i wont annoy any memebers on here with constant messaging and asking stupid questions.

But, which one should i get because i have been suggested these 2 about the same amount of time.

An X61 Kraken or a Fractal Design Kelvin s36?

So a 280mm vs 360mm

The case i am gonna be getting is the Phanteks Pro M so it'll hold both.

I recently sold the following for £125
AMD FX-6300, Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P, 212 Evo and 8GB Kingston RAM
probably could have gotten a bit more for it but i needed it gone.

Get whichever AIO you'd prefer. The X61 is a little cheaper than the S36. I use an X61 on my 4790k, stays around 30c at idle, and about 75c under load, at 4.7GHz. I used an S36 on a friends 4690k, which kept it under 25c at idle, and the 4690k never once went above 65c at 4.5GHz, even under load. So, regardless of which you go for, you'll be getting a very good cooler.

I really don't know what one to get, if i get the x61, i would be more happier with the looks. I prefer the smooth tubing and the pump itself. If i went with the s36, i'd have better cooling but it'll be louder. I might have to get the x61, just so i can use the optical bay drive. But not too sure really, might have to see how loud i can hear the fans in the case, if i hear them as loud as i do now, i'd be more than likely be getting a fan controller or something.

Ah cool, so as the FX-6300 is a bit better than the 860k, i'd probably try and get around £100 for the lot.

The S36 would be quieter, better fans included and as there is more surface area, you won't need to run the fans as fast as you would with two fans so they will be quieter, I would go with the S36.

True, i didn't think about that xD I forgot completely about reducing the fan speed.

Do you know what fans exactly are used on the Kelvin? I just wanna see the specs of them and see how much they are to buy if one was to break or something.

You can use any 120mm fan as a replacement if one was to break, but that is very unlikely to happen for a very long time.

The fans that the cooler comes with are three [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] fans, I have two of the 140mm variants on my case and they are an amazing balance between noise and performance.

As they're only £10 where i live, i might get a one or 2 of these for my case when i get it.

Thanks for your help

EDIT: The case i am getting is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M, i would get the Pro but i don't have the room. Would it make much of a difference if i have the S36 on the front of the case or the top of the case?
Overclockers claim i can have it at the front of the top.
