Water Cooling Question

[lil domii]

Hi, as a Watercooling user it may seem a bit weird for me to be saying this, but a Air cooler for around £60 will be much better than any watercooler for the same price, so i would reccommend the air cooler. What smarteyeball said about watercooling is correct, the more you invest in it... the better it is. i would say go for air cooling if your budget is around £60

My old Aircooler before i switched to watercooling was excellent.

it was the "Asus Triton 81". Its £37-£45 at the moment and is dual fanned. The only problem is it has fixing clips instead of screws. but once you figure out how to secure them, it goes on fine and it keeps the CPU relatively cool

my budget is around £60 for cooling, which is perfect for the overall budget on my rig

You'd be better off just getting a decent air cooler really then.

Again, stick with air for now. You can always save up and add a WC loop later.

Novatech : NH-U12P SE2 Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Dual Fan Quiet CPU Cooler, Intel and AMD Intel LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA775 and AMD AM2, AM2+, AM3 : novatech.co.uk
That's a great cooler.

So is this:
Megahalems 1156 Prolimatech Megahalems Performance CPU Cooler (Socket 775/1156/1366) The Prolimatech Megahalems features direct heat-pipe technology and minimal air resistance between fins for ultimate cooling performance. : novatech.co.uk

nice, except that the second cooler is a LGA 1156 socket, not am3
how about i get thishttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-070-TR
and add a 12cm fan to it? at least with a fan it will push air out instead of just the actual heatsink, making the cooling performance better with the fan.

To be honest, you've changed your mind about this theoretical build more times than a politician lies. It's impossible to keep up.

But yes, the TRUE is still a great cooler, although the copper version is very heavy and probably not the best for a vertical mounted mobo. Adding a fan is a must.

I can imagine the build is going to keep changing until he has the money to actually buy it.
