Hello everybody
I have a problem with choosing the cooler for my CPU.
I cant decide which one will be better: water or air.
I want to oc it to around 5GHz
From air coolers Im considering BeQuiet! Dark Rock 3
I still dont know much about the water coolers. I have done some research and saw many complains about Kraken X62 and its pump failure. Does this happen often with others water coolers? Could you please tell me some water coolers that are reliable?

My pc case is Fractal Design Meshify C

Thank you in advance for your asnwer
Best regards

Every chip is different. Dark Rock 3 is not quite enough, get at least dark rock pro 3. However, someone claims it is hard to install. I will recommend Noctua-D15 and Cryorig R1 universal for air. Corsair H100i v2 for water.
