So I'm putting together parts for a new build, but i don't plan on overclocking the CPU-not that I could, its a locked i5 4690. Although, i considered an aftermarket cooler, I didn't want an air cooler. I came across the NZXT Kraken X41 and it looks great and can match my system, but I was wondering if it is a good AIO, or should i just stick with the stock Intel cooler. It's also going to be in an NZXT Noctis 450 case.

 

I am new to the water cooling thing so i appreciate any help.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
