Guys!I am just confused......

Which one is best for Over clocking Both "GPU & CPU" ?

Air Cooler OR Liquid Cooler??
Shed some light

Liquid is more effective at transferring the heat energy away from your components, but is more expensive.

water cooling should in theory be more efficient but there are some very good air coolers out there too.

Air cooling and CLC's (Closed Loop liquid Coolers) you can consider to be the same as each other performance wise, but offering differing positives and negatives.
Custom water cooling far outperforms the other two and is flexible, but costs a fair amount and is difficult to spec out and build.

CLC's, only bother with putting it on the CPU.
For the GPU, the only aftermarket upgrade I consider worthwhile is a proper custom loop, just get a model with a good cooler in the first place.

So, u r saying

After-market Air cooler is much better than Liquid coolers?

ya Air cooler are bigger and needs a lot of space.....i occupies most of the MOBO space......
I am using AIR cooler after market "DeepCool X Warrior" ....it's so big and occupies lot of space.....
tats y i need a alternate cooler....which s smaller and more efficient

Are you trolling again? It can depend. There are air coolers better than some liquid coolers, and liquid coolers better than air coolers...

Ultimately a proper water cooling setup (with a proper pump, reservoir and radiators) will be better than a regular air cooling setup.

Not trolling

My current Air cooler is so Big....... so, i want to change it....

so, just needed some suggestions .....
In our Country....we have only selected Models in our Markets (both Online and Local dealer)

Why is it a problem that its big?

gokul36 · Dec 17, 2013

yep! it blocks my Graphic card slot(PCI-E_1) and 2 RAM slots........

laviniuc · Dec 17, 2013

water coolers are also big, in fact they tend to cover all the upper section of the case with the cooling unit + fans.

Look at the Phanteks TC-12DX. its high enough to not block ram, and compact enough to not block pci-e slots.

You could get a H80i, but you need to have space to mount the radiator+fan(s).

gokul36 · Dec 17, 2013

I just want to free my PCI_E slot and RAM slots........ any suggestions? how to do tat?

gokul36 · Dec 17, 2013

RobCrezz :

If i remove the 2 Fans in the upper case....i can Install Even Install "H100i" ( radiator + fans)
