Hi, what's the best budget cpu liquid cooler for overclocking?
Specs:
Ryzen 3 1200
GTX960
seasonic m12-ii 520w
Adata dazzle xpg (1x8gb)
500gb hdd
Thanks in advance!
Corsair H60 would be the best in my opinion. I use it for my Ryzen build and it does not require any fancy back plate to mount it on your am4 mobo and it definitely keeps my cpu cool.
Yeah the h60 is definitely the way to go. My friend has it for his 1700 that he has overclocked to 3.8, and he gets idle temps of like 25.
Would be the same with an air cooler, idle temps have more to do with the ambient temp and case cooling than the performance of the CPU cooler.
At load a good air cooler with outperform the H60 easily.
Liquid cooling is a complete waste of money on an R3 in the 1st place, using the OEM fan is good enough.
