So im buying a new pc but I need help in deciding between water or air cooling.
I won't be doing overclocking so I don't need a monster of a cooler, but a good one would be nice since I will be doing gaming (on an fx-6300)
Between the asetek 510lc and hyper 212 evo which one cools better (being quiet is a nice factor but it wont kill me as im upgrading from a dinosaur computer and have had to deal with loud fans for years so i'm accustomed to it lol)
Another really important thing is maintenance. Is there a lot of maintenance required for water cooling/would I have to replace the coolant and clean the tubes often? How often does water cooling break?
I really DO NOT want to have to deal with much maintenance
*keep in mind i'm a pc novice too so that is why i'm very weary.
and as a quick note, is applying thermal paste and installing an aftermarket cooler hard? I will have to settle for a stock cooler for a bit and buy the aftermarket (hyper 212 evo) a little bit later.
