Thank you for being the ONLY review with testing anywhere at the time of writing this (19/02/2024). I been looking for 3 days now. The rest is just sponsored build videos. I will go for the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 instead, which has an established track record and tons of real user recommendations. The cost of the LC 420 is around AUD$559 vs the AUD$225 for the Artic. I don't see anything in LC 420 that justifies more than double the cost.
@@undefwun2135 wow thank y so much man for this great compliment. Happy to be of help! Yes i think in terms of performance, arctic coolers are still at the top. Well for this cooler, u are paying to be part of the Asus system and the cool lighting :)
@@RealMelTan your objectivity and honesty! You are not afraid to tell the truth about the noise! I like Noctua and in the beginning, was surprised, but after some research now: 1. NH-D15 G2 - max noise level 24.8 dB(A) 2. ASUS ProArt LC 420 - max noise level 31.5 dB(A) Of course, they are two different types of fans, but when you say AIO is loud... this is not a good thing, no matter the beefier cooler radiator of 30mm! If I need to choose between the Noctua flagman, now in the G2 version, and this AIO... I don't know really, I must listen and try them both to tell who is better for my use case.
@@vasiovasio Thank you Vasio for your honest feedback too! I will definitely improve to create better content. Yes I have to mention the noise because, i feel it really stands out (not in the good way) for a high end cooler. May be I have to see if reducing the fan speed or reducing the temps on the CPU will help to reduce the fan noise. But I do not have this AIO with me any longer, so i would not be able to test that. How about other AIO brands?
@@RealMelTan For other AIOs, test whatever you have access to, for example, Arctic Liquid Freezer It will be a good idea to Manually tweak the RPM in Contrast with the Noice level and give your opinion and Data where the sweet spot between performance and comfort.
Some info about testing parameters would be nice. Like if you use AC to keep the room at a steady temperature and what it was, open test bench vs in case, etc. On my old i9 9900K + Noctua DH-15 combo is fine to overclock during the winter but needs a down clock during peak summer to not throttle so it definitely matters. Most important test for bigger AIOs/Rads/Loops is endurance testing, more water = more thermal mass = longer time to heat saturate *(if ASUS/OEM did ther job)* Editing is very clean and well done
@@derain95 yes i did test in ac room. I will indicate that in future videos, like what i did for the latest cooler master aio. Do u think i should underclock the cpu for tests? Or just use out the box speeds? And thank u for the compliment :)

Hoping they expand the proart lc line and release a 280mm version soon
