My CPU is an Intel i7 3820 overclocked at 3.6GHz, quad core, hyperthreaded. I used to use a closed loop cooling system for it but the cooling has come to the end of it's life. I tried to clean out and refill the cooler which didn't end up working. I now need to buy a new CPU cooler and I'm not sure what to go with. I'd like the simplicity of a fan and I'd choose a cheaper, noisier cooler over a more expensive one that's only more quiet. I'm not sure whether I need to buy a water cooling system (not closed loop again) or a fan if it will do.
1) Liquid or fan?
2) Which can you recommend?
3) Is there a way to see if my CPU is fine before I buy a cooler
4) For the new case fan (if I need a new one) is there a specific size to get or are they universal?
5) What case fan do you recommend?
