Large, small, quiet, not-so-quiet, all-in-one watercooling, air-cooling, passive?

What do you use for your application and why?

With a smaller case you are talking about an mATX motherboard. That is smaller than your standard ATX, so could be a bit dicey. Also there is the height that be an issue. Water cooling could be an option IF the mini Tower case has a provision for it. In my opinion, the H60 isn't much better than air cooling.

I am using a Gelid Tranquillo ( Air ). It is quiet and I have the processor OC'd to 4.6 Ghz and it stays nice and cool and stable.

I use a H80i and H60 since I got them for cheap

AiOs are easy to use and offer good performance compared to similar priced Air. You can also worry less about case temp airflow

I also like Air since it is relatively simple to install (most of the time) and is hassle free with fewer points of failure
