Question: Do I need a new case or cooler.. or both?

 

Case: NZXT h510

 

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyoer 212 rgb black edition

 

Im almost done with my build however while I was buying all my parts I went from a budget 1000$ build to about a 2300$ build. I heard the h510 has heating problems, and it isnt the quietest thing ever which isnt to much of a problem itself. I heard the cooler is great but I dont know if I should switch to a liquid cooler "x62 Kraken" in my case. I am running 32gb of ram with a 9700k and a 2070 super. Refer back to question.

If you plan on overclocking I'd go with a high end air cooler and get rid of the 212.

If I purchase this case can I keep my cooler master hyper 212?

The Case has excellent air flow.

You can keep your current Cooler, But the N15 is a better cooler, and since I have both, I can say that the cooler tower height is OK.

Use the3 mesh front and not the acrylic one that comes in the box.

Do you plan on Overclocking the shit out of this setup?

Build my pc, have fun with it and it last for a lonnng while before I upgrade it. Once I upgrade it id overclock it
