hi all
comparing cpu liquid cooling to the normal CPU cooling !
I hear cpu liquid cooling is better and good for CPU overclocking !
however I am not interested in overclocking because I do not have experience about it.
also cpu liquid cooling could need maintenance or changing radiator ? "something like that"

anyhow, do I need cpu liquid cooling for I7 3820 ? or I can use normal cpu cooling ?


thanks

Yeah, noctuas flagship aircooler actually beats a h80i push pull by quite a bit, loses from h100i though (in test with all same fans). But he wont oc anyway so unless you want it for lols liquid cooling is not worth it.

If you dont overclock liquid cooling is still nice but pure to show off if you find it look clean or cool.

So air is good enough. If you go liquid get a closed loop. No maintanance or refil e.a. h100i or so.

But you wont need it.
