Hey guys,
What's the generally favoured option for a closed loop cooler than would fit in a 120mm fan mount? Prefer quiet coolers over mega efficiency - making the assumption that pretty much any watercooler will beat a mid range air cooler?
Secondary question; should I push air out the back of the case with it, or pull air in? Older style case, PSU at the top. GPU mostly vents inside the case, so if it won't bork the airflow, intake sounds good, but it goes against decades of training ¬_¬
I've gone off going Haswell what with the tepid reception and blazing temperatures, and since my 2500k does 4.5 on surprisingly few volts I figured I'd strap a better cooler to it and see how high it'll really go. Tis a willing chip, but my current cooler just can't cope with it any faster
Cheers
