Air vs water cooling

9third · Mar 20, 2016

I have two coolers that I want to use for my intel 6600k. (I will be overclocking) But, both of the coolers get about 50 degrees Celsius. They both cost about the same and I want the one that does the best performance in cooling. They are:

The cryorig H5 ultimate,
And
The Antec Kuhler H2O 650

Which one should I use and why?

Water cooling will keep it cooler especially if your overclocking.

Not necessarily. A cheap 'water cooler' may well be worse than a good air cooler.

I was just thnking that as well i was going to come back and suggest the air cooler because of that very reason.

So... The air cooler then?

I dont know a lot about that water cooler, i would suggest the h100i water cooler for massive overclocking, but if your not overclocking up to 4.6-4.8 you should be fine with the air cooler.

So.. Which cooler would you recommend that would be priced between $40 to $55?

So... Is that better than the H5 ultimate?

I've read that the h5 ultimate is better than the h7...

Better? I'd be surprised if you saw more than 1 or 2 degrees difference between them.
They are both good.
