So I am new to building PC's and I wanted to get the Ryzen 5 1600 cpu and wanted to use liquid cooling. I was stuck between the NZXT Kraken M22 120mm fan and the NZXT Kraken X52 dual 120mm fans. I am only going to use one of those two choices but I was worried the X52 would make it to cold or something.

There's no such thing as "too cold" with normal cooling like that.

 

Liquid helium and nitrogen are kind of the only substances that can logically and reasonably be used to cool your system that'll get a CPU to the minimum operating temperature.

I know this might sound silly but looks matter to me so I might still go with the x52.

 

Also Linus in one of his vids said that if the temp of the CPU is the same as in that room it could lead to condensation or something like that. That’s why I asked this question.
