Keep Galahad 360 or buy D15?

[Zech49]

So I've been using my Galahad since November and what I use before is NH-U12S. The performance of Galahad is magnificent (8600K dellided, 64C at 5ghz 1.35v) but tbh I kinda miss seeing a gigantic cooler on my case.

 

Should I sacrafice some cooling performance in favour of D15 look? I might need to lower my core to either 4.9 or 4.8 if I swap to D15.

 

PS: I give my old U12S to my little brother so can't really just swap it.

If you like the aesthetic that's fine I guess lol, most people like the aesthetics of AIOs. If you want to do that you can go ahead. And no, you shouldn't have to lower your overclock. I have a 10700k running at 1.375v at 5ghz on a 120mm aio, kek. No throttling, either!

Yeah that line of thought is what I thought as well lol, just need the opinion of others if it dumb to go after look.

 

Thank you.
