Search for a single radiator liquid CPU cooler.
Hello!
I'm trying to find a single radiator liquid CPU cooler and am unsure which one to choose. I was considering the Corsair Hydro Series H55, but there are other options too. I don't mind the noise as long as it keeps my CPU cool. I don't need an overclocking CPU, but my system gets very hot in my area, so I want something effective for gaming.
Any recommendations would be helpful!
Under $115, I suggest opting for a quality air cooler. There aren't any liquid options that offer better value in this price range.
The issue with coolers is that they perform better when using cooler ambient air. For watercooling, you might not be achieving optimal results. It seems you're likely using the standard Intel cooler, which may indicate your case lacks sufficient airflow or cooling capacity. Could you please share your case's make and model? Also, let me know your location and budget for the cooler.

Regarding your setup, are you certain you want a single 120/140mm radiator? Could you also let me know your location and your budget for the cooler?

Agreed! For that amount of money you could easily get a current spec'd case like a Coolermaster N200 and CPU cooler like a Cryorig H7 or a Hyper 212Evo cooler and call it a day. Mind you, if your existing case can fit the mentioned coolers, then you save an extra 50USD (or more if prices are higher in Canada).
