Hello Guys

I'm Building a quite expensive computer for gaming, as we all know gaming can heat up you hardware quite well and i want to avoid any dangerous temperatures

http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/2IOGDO3IFURZW

This is the specification that i am going to buy.

The big question is how do i keep it cool without using WATER COOLING

Few reasons i want to avoid water cooling :
1# Can leak and destroy the whole computer
2# Can be quite timely to set up
3# I don't like the look of it
4# I don't want to clean it every few weeks
5# I have a little brother that could damage it (its more vulnerable than fans)

If you are going air cooling go for a noctua air cooler, will run 60 - 65 C on load

one here

but to get better temps you could go for one of the "all in one" corsair water coooling products, ususaly runs about 50 - 55 C on load

If you get a big Air cooler just make sure your case is wide enough.

Open up the fan and get a fan to blow into your computer

On a serious note, look for a noctua cooler like MurrayA said.

I am getting the
NZXT Phantom USB 3.0 Big Tower Chassis - White
http://www.amazon.co.uk/NZXT-Phantom-USB-Tower-Chassis/...

So i should have enough space for the Noctua
Thanks for the help :]


Yes that case will be fine for the noctua


Oh thanks, i tried getting the biggest case i could find so i would have room for a good air cpu cooler and
more fans to cool all the other components. Thanks for checking that the noctua fits ;]
