Posted May 25, 2017 Alright my Triton finally leaked. My 1060 has a little corrosion on the power connector. Still works (thank God). So what should I go for next? Air or water? Im between a 240mm Corsair cooler, a 360mm watercooler, or the Bequiet Dark Rock pro 3. I run a i5-6600K @ 4.7Ghz. 80C under load on the triton. I think 1.38 or 1.4V. Going for silence, looks, and a shit load of overclocking If you have a different cooler you recommend im happy to hear it. Want it to be black tho. Or at least fit in with a black and blue build.

Posted May 25, 2017 Dark Rock Pro 3 is a good choice. I'd probably go for the Noctua NH-D15, that thing is an absolute beast and is heaps easier to mount than the BeQuiet, but only if the Noctua poop brown doesn't ruin your colour scheme.

Posted May 25, 2017 17 minutes ago, TubsAlwaysWins said: Snip I'ma go against the advice in this thread and recommend a liquid cooling AIO- the larger the better. If you can fit a 360 in your case, may as well do a 360. I say this because you're interested in the highest possible overclocks, which means you're going to want the lowest possible temperatures which means you need the most cooling available. Anyone can make any argument they want for air coolers, but AIO's above 240 (and even a lot of 240's) will objectively provide more cooling than air coolers will. But if you've your heart set on an air cooler, I'd throw my money in with the R1 Ultimate from Cryorig. Best Air cooler on the market as far as the combination of performance/aesthetics go IMO.

Posted May 25, 2017 yea water cooling only makes sense with large radiators. If radiator does not have more surface area than an aircooler, then it is a pointless expense. ☼ ψ ︿_____︿_ψ_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2017 I prefer water cooling over air cooling any day... BUT !!!.... always be aware ot the fact that with air cooling it is like taking the car to get there, if something goes wrong with the machine you can always pull over... with water cooling it is like taking the airplane to get there, if something goes wrong with the tech here... 99.8% of the time you can kiss your hardware goodby !!! but like I said... I would water cool over air any day! thx Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 25, 2017 +1 Air Cooling. Either bequiet dark rock pro 3 or something from cryorig or noctua. Not gonna risk spilling water on my system. Not gonna risk having a broken pump in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
