Thermalright AIO Pump Questions
Hey everyone, I want to buy a Thermalright AIO. I know they are pretty well received but there is so much variety and a lack of a lot of in-depth reviews so I was hoping to ask these questions here.
For AIOs with the pump in the CPU block it seems they all use the Core v1.0 pump. Can I assume these all perform the same then and it's just down to the aesthetics and fans on the radiator for differences? It's only 2100rpm so I assume I'll have to run it at 100% most of the time, unless the sweet spot is lower, is it noticeably loud?
Some of the newer models, like the Stream Vision, have the pump in the radiator. This seems like the better option since its a newer pump and can go up to 6400rpm. However since it will sit at the top of my case between 1ft-2ft from where I sit I am worried about the noise. I'd probably lower it to about 2000rpm but I'm worried it would still be loud due to the position of the pump. Any experience with this?
This one is not Thermalright specific but should I be concerned about VRM temps? I'm only running a 7600x3d on a motherboard with decent power delivery, TUF B650m-e wifi, and operating temps are rated high but want to ensure the longevity of my parts. I'd look into getting an AIO with a VRM fan if it matters.
