So when I bought my computer someone told me that the there's a CPU fan that comes with the CPU, so there is no need to buy one. I am starting to regret that decision as I get around 60 degrees Celsius while playing Elder Scrolls Online, my PC is also super loud when I play it as well.

Well there's the specs, if anyone could suggest a CPU fan I would appreciate it. Anyone other flaws would be welcomed as well since i'm kind of a PC noobie. Thanks!

I think that Noctua is overkill. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is widely regarded as the best cooler for the money. You can grab it on Newegg for $35 http:// and that will improve your temps hugely, especially at load.

The Cooler master will also come with thermal paste.

Good luck!

I was just considering he has a 3570k and might want to overclock

Okay. Understandable. I didn't even check to see the CPU, haha sorry. Ivy Bridge I heard also runs pretty hot on OC so listen to him on the Noctua!

thermaltake water 3.0 pro, nzxt kraken x40.

There is a reason your case is so loud. you need fans. you have a real monster of a gpu, and its getting no air, not with just a 80mm rear exhaust. I found that the side panel takes 2x 120mm fans. Could find no specs on front intake. The side would be a great place to put some intakes for that gpu. For a $10 case, the exhaust is probably like a $2 Yate Loon, decent but loud as hell too.

120mm.

80mm exhaust replacement (much quieter)

oh, and the case is 7" (178mm) wide, so your looking at 155-160mm cpu cooler clearance at best. Doubtful either the Hyper212 evo nor the nf-d14 will fit.

best bet for airflow, is liquid clc, a decent one, and figure out a fan cooling solution for that case. Very important to get air moving in there.

I'm concerned about the liquid cooling leaking, which I hear is rare would definitely suck. Secondly you have to constantly replace the liquid right? How often and how hard is it to do that?

The all in one liquic coolers like the thermaltake and corsair hydro series are closed loop coolers, CLC's. They are zero maintenance. Never need to add liquid. The cooling that does require adding liquid occasionally is a full custom loop, WC, which will loose liquid through evaporation from the reservoir. While the two liquid solutions act alike in cooling type, they are nothing alike in application.
CLC's in application are more similar to air-coolers, the only difference being you mount a small pump to the CPU instead of the heatsink and fan of an air-cooler.
CLC's can be extremely useful in small form cases, as any CPU heat is vented directly out of the case, vrs an air-cooler which vents the CPU heat directly into the case.
CLC's are also useful in prolonged gaming, as the CPU is no longer a source of heat in case, only the gpu is, so case temps are lower, which helps the gpu maintain a more effective cooling ratio.

Leaks are possible, but generally almost never happen, and those that do are usually on a newly installed unit. Older units don't magically develop leaks, only when re-installed, for whatever reason, and fittings are stressed.

Pretty much they have the same amount of advantages and disadvantages as an air-cooler and should be thought of as such.
