[jol159]

what are your opinions on air cooling and water cooling (is one better/cheaper than the other, is water cooling prone to leaking etc..)

Aircooling is the best bang for the buck cooling solution. An All in One (AIO) is a bit better (looks cleaner in my opinion) but costs more for same performance.

Neither is definitively better than the other. Which one is best for you depends on several factors, such as;

- Budget

- Case (support for rads)

- Which components need cooling

- Preference for silence or performance

- Ease of changing components

 

And so on. It's not really a simple question to answer without knowing what you want specifically.

Considering how overpowered your build already is, an all-in-one water cooler would be a good edition, if you can afford it. (I'm just gonna let the more experienced take over.)

so what Aio is equal to the hyper 212 evo in terms of performance?

No the average AiO will perform better than the 212 Evo. I have the Deepcool 360mm AiO cooler which is pretty nice.

none, about all AIO's are better, but the cheapest AIO is about 70 dollars and the 212 just 25.

here's what i have to say about air/liquid cooling if your tight on a budget and you dont plan on doing to much overclocking then the hyper 212 evo is a good bang for buck cooler. if you got money to spend and you want your pc to look nice and you plan on some overclocking but dont want a $400 custom loop then a decent $80 or $100 AIO Liquid cooler will run you fine. personally for me i was very lucky to be able to buy a brand new Corsair h70 Core AIO Liquid Cooler for like $8 at WeirdStuffWarehouse.

I ordered a Cryorig A40 which is a hybrid between Air cooling and Water cooling. Perhaps you should take a look? If not, they do some really good air cooling solutions.
