Posted August 17, 2016 So I am planning a build and am having a hard time committing to liquid cooling my CPU because I am worried of potential disaster. Therefore I am exploring air cooling options but I am tired of having a tower cooler because they just don't look very good and will take up too much space since I want to do a mini ITX build. So I have two options of coolers and I want some opinions or experiences people might have had with each. Liquid: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8t82VY (H100i v2) Air: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RLPTJV (Cryorig C1) I personally think the C1 will look better because it will cover up a lot of the red on the mobo depending on orientation because I am obviously going for a white and black build with maybe rainbow LEDs if I get the Hue+ and I think the C1 will fit that perfectly. But one downside might be cooling performance compared to a normal tower cooler. Any opinions, advice or personal experience with one or both of these coolers would be amazing!
