Worth it to get an Asus ROG Strix LC II 360 ARGB on sale?
Review: ASUS ROG STRIX LC III 360 aRGB (CPU Cooler) | guru3D Forums
Noctua NH-D15s or ASUS Rog Strix LC II 360 ARGB AIO for i7-12700K cooling?
Rog strix III 360 is it worth 244 $ or go with LT720 for 150$? I'm building it for ryzen 7900x

I can get the LC II 360 ARGB on sale for about $170 (I know it's kind of expensive, but my country has VAT added to all electronics). It's normally sold for $250-270 when not on sale, so I kind of want to get it while there is still a sale on it. Spec wise it seems to be almost identical to the NZXT Kraken AIO's which I love, but are super overpriced at around $360. It uses the same Asetek 7th gen pump and has almost the exact same mounting and cabling system. So is it worth it? Yes? No? Any better options?
Finally upgrading after 8 years.
Debating between a Noctua NH-D15s or ASUS Rog Strix LC II 360 ARGB AIO cooler.
I currently own a ASUS Rog Strix Z690-F motherboard which prevents a healthy install of the Noctua NH-D15.
I care more about functionality and longevity than aesthetics (AKA I don't care about RGB)
I will be overclocking the i7-12700K but probably not into highest ranges (4.8-5.0GHz)
Update: Went with a Liquid Freezer II 360. Will update again once mounted and benchmarked.
Update 2: You guys were not kidding. This Liquid Freezer 2 360 ARGB outperformed all expectations. PC auto overclocked my CPU by 40-50% from 3.4GHz to 4.9GHz and it idles at 26c. Highest temperature registered was 60.94c when being benchmarked with 3dmark cpu test.
