Recommend me an air cooler!

What are the pro's and cons to water obviously you are not limited by your temperature in terms of overclocking as much as you are on air just really your voltage threshold but I have heard some horror stories about leaking etc 

Pros include better cooling and possibly lower noise at load.

Cons include higher cost, more points of failure/complication, and possibly more noise compared to the quietest of air coolers.

 

Unless you're pushing for a higher oc or want lower noise, getting a new cooler will make no practical difference in your case.

as long as you check RAM clearance anything should go in there, seems like its a case about as thick as mine. i have a NH-D14 but i also dont have a side panel on. i would look up your case specs for cooler max height first if you, like most normal people, have a sidepanel. RAM seems like its not super tall, about the same as i have but i make not promises about that part, so check RAM height and check what the max is for whatever cooler you decide to get. if you get an AIO the max size you can get in there would be 1x140mm im pretty sure

Awesome I will look into that whether im going to get massive gains from spending around the same amount of money on something like a cryorig h5 or one of these https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/FANCLM2224/Cooler-Master-Seidon-240P-Watercooling-kit-Perform

This is my case btw http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/case-series/haf-922.html

So if im not going to hit say anything more than 4.5ghz (haven't even begun to try that on my chip as the jump from 4.2-4.5 seems small on paper but in terms of voltages is huge) then it might just be better to stay with air until i can upgrade my mobo and cpu?

not going to fit, the case could take a 200mm radiator but thats a 2x 140, when the case only has one 140mm slot

I'd say get Scythe FUMA. I have that cooler and it cools reasonably well.

One thing in favor of fuma is that its only 150mm tall, so should fit in, thou the thing to watch out for is that you need low profile (standard height) RAM (and by the looks you have those). I have fans fixed at 50% so its silent, at 100% they are audible, but it is not bad and I have my system open air. Since you have a case you could run fans faster and remain quiet.

lol aslong as no one is hitting this level of noise

 i think we all should be fine haha I will check that cooler out and add it to the comparison lists

This isn't a matter of air vs. water but instead whether or not to buy a new cooler. 

There are several reasons to buy a new cooler including aesthetics, noise, or performance.

If you're fine with your current cooler's aesthetic and noise level, the only purpose behind getting a new cooler would be to reach higher clocks.

If you're fine with throwing money for the chance to go from 4.2 to 4.5ghz, then go ahead. 

It's a small performance increase and a platform upgrade would make a much bigger difference.

Im looking at getting a Xeon 5650 or something similar and overclocking that so that is why I want to know my cooler will handle what I currently have plus lower temps is always a good thing. I spent ages with the trial and error of even getting it stable and I still don't know everything about overclocking. Just the basic's really but yeah I get what your saying, Thanks

No it isn't a turbine. The full speed noise is relatively low pitch so it isn't annoying.

 

Although I agree with @WoodenMarker 's statement.
