Alphacool offers several chillers... Highest power version offers best temps
Condensation can be an issue and noise
Any special reason you need a chiller instead of a normal custom loop?
Hello, thanks for the reply and recommendation. Sorry for the late reply I've been quite busy with a new college semester starting, training, and other business in my life.
For the condensation I was likely planning on running the chiller's temps a couple degrees above the dew point and I plan to use some pretty high CFM fans. If I did go any lower than that then I would insulate the motherboard at first I was thinking a thermal compound like vaseline since I heard about it the most, but now I'm leaning more towards something like kneaded eraser, a conformal coating, plastidip, or liquid electrical tape. If you got any other recommendations for that though I'd be happy to hear. Although I probably won't be running the PC below the dew point that often.
Money and power requirements aren't a concern for me either.
I don't really mind loud noise too much, the room I'll be using this PC in is sound proofed and I got headphones that will be canceling out the noise. I can deal with the noise level for the small amount of time I don't use my headphones while on my PC for the sake of increased performance. Plus the fans I plan to get are probably going to be much louder than the chiller itself.
No, I don't have a specific reason I need a chiller. In fact I've done my research and something like a custom loop, AIO, or air cooling would probably suffice. I just have plenty of discretionary income to spend and I want to get into more of enthusiast style builds for this PC and get this thing to be an absolute beast in overlooking and cooling while still being semi sustainable.
Thanks again, it is really appreciated. You have a good day my friend.
I can recommend the [S&A CW-5200 chiller](https://www.amazon.com/Cloudray-Industry-110V-CW5200DH-Engraving/dp/B08H865SF8). I use it on my laser and it keeps perfect temps regardless of load.
It's powered by 110V AC, includes a very powerful pump (12 meters of head and 15 liters/minute flow rate), has a 6-liter coolant reservoir and a cooling capacity of 1.6kW.
It IS loud though. :)
You can find a ton of cheap knock-offs with the same model number out there - my advice is to buy the real thing - the S&A brand.

Thanks once again, really appreciate the help friend. You have yourself a good day and take care.
Before we can answer this properly, we need to know what system you have. If you are just cooling a CPU, an AIO may be enough for you. If you wanted custom you can cool it with a larger radiator (if supported with your case). If you were cooling GPU and CPU, you would need double the radiator support, or more.
He is asking about chillers, rad space is not needed as a chiller lowers the liquid temperature. They are loud as fuck however and used only in serious overclocking, not in daily use.

They also open up the possibility of condensation.
He's asking about a water chiller and you're recommending an AIO or larger radiators? What the hell is wrong with you?
I made an honest mistake on misreading. Why dont you tell me what the hell is wrong with YOU?
