Hi,

I was given a Dell 7010 Minitower with the i7 3770. I've upgraded the PSU so that I can put my HD7770 in it. My question comes to CPU cooling. Would the Corsair Hydro H60 (liquid) work better or Cooler Master Hyper 212 (air).

My concern is that the 7770 has its fans just blowing on the card, not like my old GTX9800 where the shroud covers the entire card and hot air is being push out the back of the computer. Would the Hyper 212 help blow more air out of the system than the Hydro?

I would go with the Hyper 2012 Evo or plus. It's an excellent cooler and compared with the H60 performs very similar for less price, the only "advantage" of the H60 is that save you space inside the case but you have to think where install the radiator.

The CPU cooler doesn't affect the temps of your GPU, that's why the GPU comes with their own cooler system.

Thanks, I get that we're talking about CPU cooling. But it seems to me that the GPU just moves hot air away from the card and into the case. (I had an old GTX9800 where the plastic cover sealed the card and send all the air that was blown out the back of the case). Trying to figure out if the Hyper would help with air flow
