That would depend on the power dissipated. Custom loop can have higher flow rate, (significantly) more surface area of the radiators, and more water.
Another issue is that VRM needs cooling too, and custom loops can come VRM cooling (monoblocks). AIOs would need forced airflow (fan).
- tracker1 7y agoThere is a lot of variety... Most 360 AIO will do much better than any air cooler with less noise. Many 240-280 will as well... Good/Great air coolers will often do as well as a 120-240mm aio. This will vary by radiator size/thickness, the fans and the case airflow and any obstructions. Personally, O11 dynamic, with a 360 aio at the top/exhaust and 3x side, 3x bottom intake... It's really quite pretty much all the time... If I stick my head close, I can hear a little hum, but that my well be the video card for all I can tell. The 4-bay nas on the shelf nearby is more noticeable.
