Hey guys, I'm in the process of building my new rig and I want to know if I would need an H100i (or something similar) or an air cooler like Hyper 212X would suffice. I've never tried liquid cooling before, never had the need for it but recent games have been a bit taxing on my CPU. Although the max temp I recorded so far was 78 degrees, I was using the stock intel cooler.
My usage includes gaming mostly and browsing and designing. I don't edit videos or use CPU heavy applications. My rig specs that I'm building are below. Plz note, I'm using some of old parts like my mobo and CPU :
CPU : Intel Core i5-3550
Motherboard : ASUS P8Z77-M PRO
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 8 GB
GPU : ASUS R9 280X DC2T
Case : NZXT H440
Storage : Segate 1TB HDD
PSU : Corsair CS650M
Display : Samsung S22B370, 1080p
My first choice was a Hyper 212X due to its low cost and fairly decent reviews.
p.s. I don't overclock
