I'm needing an aftermarket CPU cooler, not sure if I should get a closed water cooling system or an air cooler. i was thinking about getting one of the corsair HXX series water coolers, are those any good or could i get a better air cooler for the money.
I'm leaning towards a water cooler because they take up less room in the case and they wont block the ram slots.
I've heard that Cool Master is coming out with a vapor chamber cooler in about a month, but i'm not sure what kind of performance that will have or the physical size of it.
I would prefer to spend under$100 but I can go a little over if i really have to
Do you recommend recomend water of air and what cooler?
Thanks
