So, i always hear that Air cooled is "better" but i was wondering...Why!? As the better ones tend to be MASSIVE and normally are hideous to look at. I need to get a New CPU cooler and people say to get Noctua NH-U12A which itself is nearly £90. Why not for example get a Corsair Hydro Series H100x? Both the same price, one is HUGE the other isn't If space/Aesthetic is just as important as cooling (maybe not quite, but enough to make you question getting the NH-U12A for example. What else could you guys suggest?
I was thinking about the Freezer 34 eSports Duo Arctic, seems quite decent, reasonable price. Doesnt look to overly huge and nice black colour scheme but not too sure.As the case is a Corsair Air 540 if i did get a air cooled fan, due to the cooler needing to be facing the front of the case i would have 3 fans blowing cold (when its not insanely hot summer!) into the case, directly into the CPU cooler fans but that also have the issue of the RAM slots as not sure what ones will be able to fit in there without having any issues with the RAM i have as they aren't short ones.
Its for a Tomahawk Max with a Ryzen 5 3600.
