Great initial air cooler! Consider switching to water cooling later.
Great initial air cooler! Consider switching to water cooling later.
Hi, I'm looking for the top air cooler for my setup. I'm planning to start with an air cooler now and then upgrade later when I begin overclocking. My current build includes: CPU i7 8700k, CPU cooler Noctua NH D15s, motherboard Maximus Formula X, GPU Asus 1080ti Strix OC, storage M.2 960 evo 500gb with a 2TB Seagate Barracuda at 7200rpm, and RAM which I'm still figuring out in the forums. The PSU is an 850w EVGA G2.
A budget-friendly air cooler should work well at its default performance. Make sure it matches the right socket.
If you're considering water cooling, what are your objectives? What budget are you planning? Are you thinking about an all-in-one cooler or a complete loop system?
