Which CPU Cooler :o

[Chris83]

Greetings comrades,

 

I'm planning a build which will be used for competitive gaming, but also work with 3D modeling for home construction and video production, and I'm also interested in gaming/streaming. For this build, my preference is affordability, but not in sacrifice of quality. Here's a link to my planned build @ https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gmvTP3

 

So what I'm trying to figure out....should I go with an AIO water cooler or the 2 Fan Cooler listed below. Things to consider: A.) I'm in Florida B.) with anemic girlfriend who likes to keep it warm and C.) my body operates at higher than normal temperatures, and D.) room/space where system will be setup is small, therefore I need a good CPU cooler. I hear water cooling is better...but my inexperienced analysis between these 2 coolers is that they are likely very similar in effectiveness. Does anyone have any experience with these coolers who can give me a recommendation. If they will perform similar, I want to save money and go with the AIO. But loudness and durable quality are also considerations for me. Which one is quieter do ya'll think? For the 2 fan cooler, I also want to know if it comes w/ the fans combined, which means they'll run together and louder, or do they come separate allowing for better control and quieter performance. Thanks!

Honestly, the stock cooler will do fine, and handle a mild overclock.

 

I suggest you get a 1070Ti, as when overclocked can nearly reach 1080 performance.

 

With the saved money, get a B350 board, or X370 to overclock better.

You should first get a b350 mobo or a Xx70  mobo so you can OC, and get the cryorig H7.

Dont get 120mm aios, they suck.

 

noctuas u9 am4 variant is also good.

Try oc'ing with the stock cooler first before deciding on whether or not to replace it. 

That or get a better cpu like the 1700 instead with the money that would've otherwise been used on the cooler.

I can OC with the Ryzen5 1600 (and this setup - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gmvTP3 )? I thought it was just processers with 'X' at the end -_0

Ya...guess so, watching video on it now  Looks like a decent stock cooler

The MSI A320M Gaming Pro doesn't support OC? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zj67vn

no. no a320 chipset supports overclocking even if its 500$ and has the word gaming 3 times in the title.
