Bit of an odd question.
I am building a pc on a bit of a budget and purchased an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 to cool my 7800X3D.
The main reason I purchased it was because it was reasonably priced (£80) and had amazing reviews. I've always used aio's to cool in the past but I've always overclocked. My last couple was a 4790k and enjoyed overclocking However, I don't really ever plan on overclocking this CPU and still have the GPU to buy.
Would I be better off sending it back and putting that £80 towards a new GPU? It's still unopened.
Is there any real world MAJOR benefit over cooling the CPU with a AIO or even buying a much cheaper air cooled heat sink for the CPU.
Thank you for any advice.
