Tony driftking · Jul 12, 2015

I only want to know if I buy i7 5960 x and I don't over clocking it liquid cooling is necessary for it?

USAFRet · Jul 12, 2015

No, not necessary.

Tony driftking · Jul 12, 2015

Totally?

USAFRet · Jul 12, 2015

Tony driftking :

Totally.
Probably 98% of all i7 installations do not have any sort of liquid cooling.

USAFRet · Jul 12, 2015

Tony driftking :

Interesting. I've never seen that.
What does it say in the description? Fan or no fan? Do have a link to the website selling it?

Tony driftking :

Well...there are a LOT of reasonably priced air coolers. A lot depends on what case you have Some are too large to fit some cases.

I believe those capsules were sent to random youtube reviewers and came with instructions for doing the youtube review. If it actually comes in that package I would suspect it's someone selling their demo model. Otherwise it's likely just a photo paired with the cpu and will probably ship in the standard box. Even the standard boxed models ship without coolers though.

That aside, a phanteks tc14pe, be quiet dark rock pro 3 or noctua nh-d15 would all be good coolers to consider. All are more than capable of handling more than 140w of heat. All are fairly quiet, no messing about with software programs for water cooling, no chance of leaking on a $1000 chip.

Price of 5960x in india [no online price please]

Someone Somewhere · Jul 12, 2015

If you're buying it off the street, it would greatly depend on which store you go to.

I'd question the benefit to buying the 5960X, though. It's more than twice the price of the 5820k, for an extra two cores and the 'Extreme' sticker.

Its not necessarily as long as you get good temps cause some good air coolers are better than water. But i will prefer a water cooler when you overclock cause it it cools better if yoh give stress on it

is it necessary to liquid cooling intel core i7 5960x ?
