wat

a PSU fan or watercooling?

I really hope you meant Air or Watercooling

if that was the case, watercooling will always be better, but it has a hefty pricetag to make it worth it 

 

I think we should all get into Watercooling our PSU's! Might improve the power output. Could maybe even overclock it :D

lol yea i mean cpu.

the case is fracel define r4.

and i am from the uk.

i think air is good enough because i wont use the pc for gaming that much only for performence.

and i will clock it but not that high.

but i am not sure

 

Can you not just write full sentences like this? It makes it a lot easier to read! Regarding to your question, if you plan to do little overclocking you might as well get air cooling as you won't have to fork out more money for no reason. Hyper 212 Plus is a good deal.

With your budget, you will have to go with the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo.
