Watercooling vs air cooling in a tropical country

Yew4life

I live in brazil i read in a few forums that AIO water coolers are handicapped in countrys with a hot climate i plan on buying a 6700k and putting a H100 gtx from corsair will the climate alter the performance of the cooler and is air cooling a better alternative

How are they handicapped? I mean, if it's hot, the chip will run hotter regardless of the cooling solution due to the ambient temperature being higher. Nevertheless, a watercooling solution is always better than air regardless of climate.

That's not true.

Depends on the price range, fam.

If you're worried about it, just pick up a Noctua NH-U14. It'll trade blows with the higher end AIO's
I can't say I know but the liquid temps do matter and AIO's are pretty limited in how they perform.
