Should I use Watercooling ?

Hello, I'm going to build a gaming pc in a few months and, I think that one day I will get in to overclocking (just the processor). I also want my build to look nice, I'll have a windowed side panel to see inside and I've noticed that air fans are very big, bulky and don't look very attractive. Would water cooling be the way to go ? I've always liked the idea of water cooling and when I'm a bit older and a bit more in to pc parts etc I'll go full Water Cooling.

 

What would you reccommend ? 1150 Support, not looking to spend too much on it.

 

Thanks

How do you people know what to put here ?

An AIO(all in one) unit like Corsair's H100/i or similar products from Cooler Master or Swiftech will do the job. If your case is a mid tower or smaller and does not support 240mm radiators ~ you can get 120mm option like H60i. AIO look neater, are louder and their cooling is just 2-3C lower than similarly priced air coolers.

OC'ing the CPU is mostly e-peen, OC your gpu instead, that gives actual performance boosts

Want to increase your E-Peen the all-natural way? 

 

Supplements, pills, and creams not cutting it?

 

Try Water Cooling!
