Air vs Liquid

[NeonJam]

Hi,

I need an upgrade from my stock amd cooler and was looking for something with good performance but small and discreet. I like the discreetness of the liquid cooling but is there any small and good air coolers out there?

What's your views?

Edit - I have a AMD 6300 CPU, Not planning to overclock with a Phantom 410 mid tower. Reason for upgrade is that it gets hot over here and the CPU is over heating! Sorry been at school all day!

i like air coolers, i can easily see when something breaks. i don't like pump noise. already have lots of case fans why not more.

Will you overclock?

The Corsair H80i, Seidon 120V are both good discreet coolers is mounted in the top.

H90 will suit you, also get some nice fans like SP140's from Phanteks for it and it'll become a little beast.

Small and good are generally not put together for air cooling, unless it has a beastly, and possibly loud, fan. If you want discreet go with liquid cooling, air coolers can provide much the same cooling but need very large heat sinks to dissipate the heat

Sp140s are from corsair. You may be thinking of NFF-12s.

I prefer air cooling. Simply more bang for your buck and there's fewer parts which can fail.

What's the reason for replacing the stock cooler?

What are you cooling?

I think he's referring to F140SP's and definitely not NF-F12's. The H90 is a 140mm rad.

Phanteks FSP140's.

ah, not a very hot cpu, go with one of the mid size coolers or a 140mm rad. I wouldn't spend to much. That's ok, it's testing season in school. Study hard.

[NeonJam]

Thx for the reminder and the help Blackadder and everyone!

Get a 212 Evo, don't spend a fortune on cooling that CPU.

It would help to tell us where you're shopping/located.
