Usefulness of huge CPU coolers in comparsion with small ones

Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

So does small cooler limit overclocking potential? Or it'll just make more noise? 

Also should I bother about intake, exhaust fans or I should stick to 1 cooler for CPU?

 

FFans for case or just for cooler? Having it push or pull doesn't really matter, difference is only 1-3C. Two fans is better but can make more noise. Or it could be silent for same temps that make 1 fan spin crazy. Try with 1 first and add another if you feel like it.

 

For case fan config we need to know which case and what fans.

Will cooler like Deepcool Ice Warrior have useful advantage over smaller one like Ice Blade 100 or Ice Blade 200M?

Cpu is 4670k or 4770k at 1.25V and best freq achievable.

Mostly less noise. Bigger heatsinks can have less obstruction to airflow, and bigger fans.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Yes, bigger heatsinks perform better (alot better) than smaller ones so having a small

Heatsink does limit overclocking capabilities at the same being loud.
