Cooling

[mrcameron999]

Hello

i have a nzxtcase with 

1x 120mm rear (Radiator good)

1x 140-120mm top

2x 140-120mm front(radiator good)

 

i was wondering if I were better to get a rear aio water cooling that's 120mm or a dual 140mm radiator in the front. Or get an air cooler for my cpu and two front intake 140mm & 120mm rear and 140mm top ??

thanks

 

 

any recommendations on fans/aio/cpu air coolers needed thanks

It depends what you want but in general a dual AIO would be a great option, if you like air cooling however large air coolers like the NH-D15 are very comparable to the performance of dual AIO's.

Is the aio worth the extra money

Hey, 

 

I've got the NZXT s340 with an AIO cooler on the back 2 AF120 on the front and the standard NZXT 120mm case fan on the top.. and I'm loving it looks great and the temps are good.

 

Now I decided to cheap out on the AIO and went for the Cooler master Seidon 120 v2 I feel if I'd have spent £20-30 more Id have gotten a better max avg temp.  My interim solution is to put a Noctua 3000 industrial fan on i'm hoping this will give me a tiny reduction in max avg temp.

That's kind of depends on why you like using, large air coolers s put a fair bit of weight on the motherboard where AIO's have it on the heacy rads bolted to the case. Air coolers also have less point of failure since AIO's need a pump and fan in their cooling design. For large dual 140mm coolers they can perform very well espically if you plan to do overclocking however.
