Air vs Water

[MrSushi]

Hello.

 

Can anyone please give me pros and cons of AIO cpu cooling? I really cant decide if i should buy it or not since its twice as expensive as Noctua NH-U14S in my region. I would like to overclock my cpu.

I have the NZXT Kraken X61 in my H440 on top.

 

It looks nice and the cpu is normaly about 28-30C with the i7-5820k overclocked from 3.3 to 4.5

Specify what AIO you are look at.

 

Well for starters, liquid cooling means no giant metal block warping the mobo and potentially blocking RAM heatsinks. It looks cleaner and lets you put the radiator at the intake for maximum cools, or at the exhaust so that the heat don't go to other components.

 

It has its downsides. All liquid coolers have a pump which is one more component producing noise and one more potential point of failure. They are typically expensive and the cheaper ones don't beat many good air coolers.

i would like to buy Corsair H105 or H100i
